Pack Your Bags followed up a recent win at Down Royal by landing the Sporting Press Handicap Chase at Clonmel in decisive fashion.
The Robert Tyner-trained gelding had gone up 10lb for that previous win but punters were keen to be with him again as he was sent off the 13/8 favourite.
Phillip Enright 's mount pulled his way to the front approaching the straight, and stayed on well from two out.
The JP McManus-owned nine-year-old beat Ballybrowney Walk by six lengths, with Oisin James another six and a half lengths back in third.
Tyner's wife Mary said, "The two races were handy enough races and he has confidence got now."
McManus' racing manager Frank Berry added "He had been disappointing for a long time and the blinkers seemed to have helped him. The nice ground helps as well and if he wins another one it'll be great."
