Dont Kick Nor Bite completed a double on the card for Mark Walsh and JP McManus, as she took the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Handicap Chase.
Placed on her last three starts, the Robert Tyner trained bay certainly wasn't winning out of turn, and was sent off the 7/2 favourite.
Dropping back in trip this afternoon, the seven-year-old victor was settled in mid-division, and was sixth with a circuit to race.
She took closer order before the third last, and came through to lead after the next, going on from there to score comfortably by six and a half lengths. Mill Quest (9/2) finished second under Davy Russell for Gordon Elliott, while Sweet Destination (8/1) was another five lengths back in third.
Frank Berry, racing manager for McManus, said afterwards: "She deserves it as she's had a few hard luck stories but she's been consistent.
"They went a right gallop, she jumped well and loved it when she felt the others coming back to her.
"She was a bit unlucky in Listowel, and hopefully we'll find another one like that for her."
Walsh & McManus were earlier on the mark with Light Of My Life
