Rapid Escape completed a treble on the card for Gordon Elliott when taking the bumper under Patrick Mullins.
The 11/10 favourite was having his first outing since finishing fifth in the Land Rover bumper at Punchestown in April.
Mullins produced the Gigginstown gelding to lead crossing the road and he kept on well in the closing stages to post a length-and-a-quarter success over Dunvegan
“We went a real good gallop but he was very green and was behind the bridle all the way,” said Mullins.
“I probably got there too soon because I didn't know how much I had. Once he's got there he's taken off.
“He's idled a bit in front and he's a very nice horse. The fella today and the horse yesterday (Felix Desjy) will both come on streetwise.”
