Backed in from around 4/1 earlier, into a starting price of 15/8 favouritism, Finish In Style completed a double for J P McManus and Barry Geraghty, coming out on top in the Schooling At Tipperary Beginners Chase for trainer Enda Bolger.
Geraghty (half an hour earlier a winner in the green and gold on Waaheb for Dermot Weld) looked content that he'd get the front-running Marvellous Moment up the straight.
That one tried to fend Finish In Style off with a big jump at the last but he was tiring and edging left, and Geraghty's mount proved strongest by a length and a quarter.
There was a gap of nine lengths back to Six Senses in third.
"It wasn't the best race but that was nice for a four year old," reflected Bolger.
"He was all at sea in hurdle races and we decided to go chasing as he is such a big baby and he had a grand education there."
