Rapid Escape made it three bumper wins in-a-row, and completed a treble on the card for Gordon Elliott, as he ran out an easy winner of the Listed Future Champions Flat Race.
Successful at Down Royal and Punchestown last month, the son of Doyen was sent off the 2/5 favourite this afternoon.
In front in the early stages, he was headed down the back straight, and raced in second under Lisa O'Neill.
He regained the lead over two furlongs from home, and was ridden out in the closing stages, going on to score by eleven lengths. Lady Ischia (3/1) finished second under Jamie Codd for Gavin Cromwell.
Elliott, who was successful earlier with Blow By Blow and Diamond Cauchois said afterwards: "He's a good horse. He won't have much more of it this year and we might look at the good bumper at Leopardstown (Dublin Racing Festival).
"A three-mile chaser is probably what he was bought to be and we like him a lot."
