Buy Back Bob was something of a hotpot (4/6f) in the opening maiden at Dundalk and duly obliged for Ger Lyons.

Keagan Latham got a split on the rail on his mount to take it up a furlong-and-a-half from home.

The son of Big Bad Bob ran slightly green but stayed on well in the closing stages to record a cosy three-and-a-half length victory over Bright Horizon

"He's a horse I liked all summer and as you can see by the size of him he's one to look forward to next year," said Lyons.

"It would have been nice if he had won at Navan first time as we could have packed him away for the year then.

"My reaction at Navan was that I didn't want to run him on soft ground. I had no doubt about here as he handles the surface well at home.

"He's a big honest horse and one to look forward to. I've had a great year for Mrs Battina of Anamoine Ltd. I think I've won with everything she has sent me."
