Sean Flanagan booted home a 111.5/1 double at Wexford courtesy of Double Windsor in the three mile one handicap chase.
The jockey galvanised Double Windsor (14/1) to get up in the closing stages by a short head from well backed 7/2 favourite Duhallow Paddy
Trainer David O'Brien said: "He was a stone higher than when he first won over fences and I thought the ground was too dead for him.
"I said to Sean whatever chance he has just to try and creep away on him. It shows how much I know about training!
"When he is on a going day he is very good at his own level. He seems to be improving with time.
"The blinkers on him now have made a big difference, he seems to be running a lot more sweet.
"It's great for his owners, they are getting some fun out of a cheap horse like him."
Flanagan also scored by a short head on Commandant in the beginners' chase on the card.
