Clicksnmortar held off Bundle Of Fun to claim the the 3m1f handicap chase at Wexford.
Barry Geraghty hit the front on the long run from the last fence but his mount was strongly pressed in the straight by the 2/1 favourite.
Edward O'Grady 's charge had to pull out all the stops to record a neck victory.
The winner was recording his first success over fences and better ground was put forward as the key.
"It's the first time he's had decent ground this summer," said stable representative Ken McCullagh.
"We came through Enniscorthy at four o'clock and the place was flooded. Thankfully all the clouds went the other way here."
The winning owner is Chantal McCabe, who hails from Dublin.
The last fence was omitted on all circuits due to unsuitable ground.
The fourth last was also taken out following the earlier fall of Magdoodle and Rob Jones. Jones was reported none-the-worse for his tumble.
