Dancers Dilemma (yellow cap) has the measure of Dale Street© Photo Healy Racing
Robbie McNamara gave Dancers Dilemma a confident ride to claim the concluding bumper at Ballinrobe in style.
The Dermot Weld-trained hotpot (1/1 in morning into 4/6f) was nursed into contention turning for home before hitting the front early in the straight.
McNamara let his mount come home under minimum pressure to record a cosy two-length win over Dale Street
The Dubai Destination gelding had chased home Cheltenham third Pique Sous on his previous start at Leopardstown.
"He's tough and he's an awful lot better than those," said McNamara afterwards.
"His form is different class as he ran in a good winter race. He has plenty of toe and he'll make a nice mile-and-a-half horse or hurdler depending on which way he goes.
"He's only a handy sized horse."
There was a nasty incident before the home turn when Callthebigladjimmy came down and brought down Star Of Boru
Riders Mark Byrne and Gwen Daly were taken to Castlebar hospital.
