Moving Water (9/2) completed a hat-trick when landing the Golf Societies @ Gowran Park Handicap Hurdle under Mark Walsh.
The Mastercraftsman five-year-old moved into contention before the second-last but Krabat moved past him running down to the last. The latter got the final flight wrong, though, and the winner edged past him on the run-in to score by a length and a half with the pair well clear of the remainder.
Winning trainer Des McDonogh said: "That was great, to get three in a row. I can't remember having a jumping horse doing that, I remember a few Flat horses long ago.
“He's a lovely horse and he's crying out for three miles.
“He's had three months off so we'll keep going with him. He wouldn't be one for deep winter ground, unless it was sloppy. We'll see what is decided now.
“He's a huge big horse, he's a home-bred as well which is lovely. He wasn't bred for this job but he's doing it anyway.'
