< Tranquil Magic took to fences like a duck to water as she landed the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase at Downpatrick.
Colin Bowe's winning pointer had previous form at this venue having won a handicap hurdle last month, and J.J. Slevin made his bid for glory at the third-last.
He had a willing partner in the 9-4 joint-favourite, whose efficient jumping in the latter stages carried her clear and while Persian Wind attempted to throw down a challenge, Tranquil Magic proved five lengths too good.< Slippery Serpent registered his second victory at this course in the space of just over a month in the Molson Coors Maiden Hurdle.
Successful in a bumper, Edward O'Grady's 13-8 chance mastered front-running favourite Hardline after jumping the last and stayed on for a four-and-a-half-length call.
Kennedy may have had to settle for second on Hardline but went one better in the JP Handicap Hurdle on the Adrian Murray-trained Charms Bracelet
The 9-1 shot led before setting sail for home three out and that move proved the decisive factor because try as Pinotage might, he could never really get close enough to challenge and came up three and a half lengths short.
Kennedy followed up when 4-5 favourite Poormans Hill ran away with the Molson Coors Handicap Chase on his first start since joining Gordon Elliott, whose Stooshie was outfought by the Nina Carberry-ridden Roseriver Has (5-2) in the Black Horse Flat Race.< Scotch Beg (9-1) put in a determined performance in the Get Ready For Autumn Rated Novice Hurdle.
Andy Oliver's mare was pressed by Canny Tom at the last but she still had plenty more to give and stayed on to score by two and a quarter lengths.< Floramar (4-1) and Up For Discussion had the White Horse Maiden Hurdle between them from the third flight from the finish and the former found more after the last to beat the 1-2 favourite by four and a quarter lengths.
