Security Breach bounced back to form to claim the Jack Duggan Memorial Handicap Hurdle at Gowran Park.
Ruby Walsh settled his mount behind the leaders in the two-miler before producing him to lead going to the second last.
Raggletagglegypsy challenged at the penultimate flight but was struggling to get to his rival before the last where he produced an untidy leap.
Security Breach was driven out to land the spoils by two-and-a-quarter lengths.
Usa who had been backed from 11/2 into 4/1 favourite, ran on from the last to claim the runner-up spot in the closing stages.
The 13/2 winner had run poorly in Killarney last month but Mullins feels he is more at home on better ground:-
“I have Galway in mind for him. He hops off that ground and his jumping was a lot better today.
“He'll probably take in Killarney along the way. He's a summer horse. “It's nice to have my jumping team back in order after all the Flat runners recently!”
