First-time blinkers saw Stealthy Tom cruise home in the concluding two mile seven handicap chase at Killarney.

He took over approaching the home bend and took a few length out of the field three out.

The gap increased at the next and the 6/5 favourite was clear at the last as he won easily by four and three quarter lengths.

Trainer Enda Bolger said: "The day he won his hurdle race in Wexford, he pulled himself up in front so we put blinkers on today to help the rider.

"He liked the trip and we'll follow the races that he can get into now. It's nice he goes on soft ground now also."

This gave jockey Darragh O'Keeffe a brace of winners on the card as he also prevailed on Henry de Bromhead's Dancing On My Own
