Phantom Power who is a half-brother to Slade Power, completed a quick-double for Eddie Lynam, as he got up close home to land the irishinjuredjockeys.com Maiden.
With some solid form to his name, the winning son of Dark Angel was sent off an 11/8 chance under Shane Crosse for owner Sabena Power.
Just as in the opener, the victor came from last to first. Alice Milligan raced in a clear lead for much of the contest and it wasn't until the final 100 yards that she was finally reeled-in.
Three-parts of a length separated the front-pair at the line, with Alice Milligan having to settle for the runner-up spot for the second time in as many days. Thaleeq who was sent off the even money favourite, was another half-a-length back in third under Colin Keane for Dermot Weld.
Lynam, who took the opener with Sister Lola said: "That was an important one to get as he's a half-brother to Slade Power. His full-brother Heavenly Power won in the Curragh recently.
"It looked a bit scary at the top of the straight. I thought Shane (Foley) had pinched it.
"It's nice to get it."
