Church Mountain and Jack Kearney© Photo Healy Racing
Church Mountain repeated the tactics that were successful here last Friday when recording a sixth career win in the View Restaurant At Dundalk Stadium Handicap.
Jack Kearney was also aboard the Denis Hogan-trained gelding last week and he gave an encore performance as the 17/2 chance was patiently ridden before making headway on the stand side in the straight.
The six-year-old again got up in the closing stages to beat Picpoul by a length with Beaupark holding every chance a further head back in third.
Kearney said, "Denis has seemed to find the new key to him now. I think he will have a fun winter up here, he loves that surface.
"In fairness to him, I thought I won snug the last day but, when I asked him to battle today, he really put his head down and battled away.
"I'd say we went quicker than we did last week - I was just kind of out of my comfort zone, but I rode him to give him a chance and he came home well."
