Fit For The Job ran down the well-backed favourite Cailin Mor to land the Bill Keogh Memorial Handicap at the Curragh under Fran Berry for David Wachman.
Cailin Mor looked sure to go a place better after her narrow defeat at Navan during the week, but the smooth traveller was possibly in front soon enough on this occasion.
After hitting the lead a furlong and a half out under Sean Corby, it soon looked like it was a case of all over bar the shouting.
However Cailin Mor had no extra to give close home and had to yield by a head to Fit For The Job.
"Fran gave him a nice ride. He was a good two-year-old, and has found his form again. He's a straight-forward horse," said Wachman of the J P McManus-owned victor.
