There was a second Gigginstown House Stud winner at Wexford when A Genie In Abottle led home a one two for the maroon and white in the Listed M.W.Hickey Memorial Chase.
Successful trainer Noel Meade was also bringing up a brace, in his case an across the card one, after the win of Half The Odds over at Galway.
Odds-on A Genie In Abottle made all and he fought off Tiger Roll by a length and a half.
Winning jockey Sean Flanagan said: "He is a funny auld sort, he always holds on to a little bit.
"He is not un-genuine, he is just a leery fella.
"We were worried there wasn't going to be a lot of pace, similar to the last day he ran.
"You can be forceful away on him because he is never going to do too much. The boys joined me jumping the third last and they kind of shoved me along.
"I always had plenty left.
"We were a bit disappointed after he was beaten when favourite in the four miler at Cheltenham. But funnily enough he just mightn't stay four miles.
"He is a backward sort of lad and we can't knock him yet anyway."
