< Ted Veale rolled back the years to defy top weight in the Guinness Handicap at Listowel.
The Tony Martin-trained 10-year-old has proven that he is far from a spent force during a good recent stint over obstacles but returned to the level under the steadier of 9st 12lb.
Oisin Orr claimed 5lb off that and produced the 6-1 chance with a perfectly-timed challenge, running down Ibsen in the final 100 yards and scoring by half a length.
A 262-day layoff proved no hindrance to Dromnea (9-1) as he ran out a clear-cut winner of the Southampton Goodwill Chase.< Kylecrue made a bold bid to repeat last year's win but the writing was on the wall when he was headed three out, and Dromnea stretched two and three-quarter lengths clear of Hidden Cyclone in impressive fashion.< Not A Bad Oul Day was a game winner of the Bank Of Ireland Handicap.
The 10-1 shot put the pace to the race and while those exertions may have taken their toll for many in the closing stages, John Feane's charge was in no mood to be passed and beat Tribal Path by a length and a half.< Lady Camelot made a successful start to her career in the Foran Equine Irish EBF Auction Fillies Maiden.
Gavin Cromwell's 9-1 chance loomed up two furlongs out but it took a while for the penny to drop and she only nailed Time Queen on the line.< Lord Erskine proved his recent Roscommon romp was no fluke by defying a 13lb rise in the John & Terry Moriarty Memorial Handicap in the hands of Pat Smullen as the 7-4 favourite.< Gold Smoke (11-1) stayed on well to claim top honours in the Paud, Sarah & Mary Fitzmaurice Memorial Handicap Hurdle, while 1-2 favourite Turbojet took the John J. Galvin Maiden Hurdle and Masons Daughter (100-30) won the Listowel Printing Works Irish EBF Mares (Pro/Am) Flat Race.
