Good As Hell picked up compensation for blundering away a race in Wexford when he stayed on well to oblige in the Tipperary Town Plate Handicap Chase.
He looked sure to win in a Wexford opportunity handicap chase last month but unseated Evan Dwan at the final fence when clear.
In today's extended two miles assignment he tracked The Banger Doyle and Jack Holiday into the straight and closed on the leader The Banger Doyle two out.
He picked that rival off between the final two fences and asserted for Brian Hayes by the last. She jumped it well and strode away to score by eight lengths at 3/1 from Jack Holiday (5/1).
Philip Fenton said: "That was compensation for her last run, it's great to get a win and she likes it around here.
"We were panicking a bit as going left-handed suits her and Killarney, even though it is left-handed, wasn't an option as it can often be quicker there than most places. We were guaranteed safe ground here.
"She is a great servant and hopefully can progress. We're only learning about her best trip, she'll have a mini-break now and hopefully will turn up in Listowel."
Good As Hell now has three wins and a place from her four appearances in Tipperary.
