Fozzy Stack's Sirici made it two victories in a row over Dundalk's five-furlong trip.
Again, Spirit Power took the runner-up spot, although he was 6lb better in with the winner this time.
Punters got stuck into Aidan O'Brien's newcomer Mount Wellington from 7/4 in the morning and 8/11 on opening show down to an SP of 1/2f.
Sirici went the other way from 13/8 in the morning to 9/2 on the off.
However, she made all and travelled sweetly for Killian Hennessy before being pushed clear to account for Spirit Power (11/4) by a length and a quarter.
Mount Wellington was slowly into stride and could make no impression in third, beaten four and a quarter lengths by the winner.
Killian Hennessy said: "She put it up again. She's a tough little filly. To be fair to her she's only a small thing and up against those big colts I wasn't sure what to expect, but she pulled it out of the bag again.
"She has obviously improved again. She probably could go for a Listed race in York next month. She would be well up to Stakes level."
Hennessy lost his 7lb claim with this success.
