Last year's fourth Croisultan (5-1) went three better in the Listed Belgrave Stakes at Fairyhouse.
Liam McAteer's four-year-old arrived on a lengthy losing run and was reverting to sprinting after a no-show over a mile at the Derby meeting.
He looked slightly tapped for toe when Rock Jock and Rain Delayed kicked early in the straight, but he found another gear for Ben Curtis and finished best to beat Rock Jock by three-quarters of a length.
Rock Jock's connections gained some compensation when Prince Jock (13-8) prevailed in the Ballybin Maiden, although his task was made easier by the withdrawal of probable favourite A Mind Of Her Own.< Juliet Capulet was a warm order for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden but never looked likely to land a blow as the prize went to her stablemate Inca Princess
Despite showing signs of greenness, the 3-1 shot eventually bettered long-time leader Yellow Dandy before holding the late thrust of eyecatching newcomer Natalisa by a neck.< Dotada (4-1) was blocked for a run for most of the straight in the Ratoath G.A.A. Family Raceday but didn't need a second invitation once the gap finally did open and accelerated well to inflict a three-quarters-of-a-length defeat on Bay Knight < Premier Rouge failed to beat a single rival home at the Curragh in May but David Marnane freshened him up and the evergreen nine-year-old stuck his neck out to land the Ratoath G.A.A. Loyalty Card Handicap as a 9-1 chance.< Park Ranger (4-1) was too good in the Porterstown Handicap, while Mid Mon Lady (6-1) rounded off proceedings with success in the Ballyhack Race.
Well-touted favourite Akzar coasted into the lead a quarter of a mile from the finish, but Harry Rogers' battle-hardened mare went in pursuit and, crossing the line, she had her head down where it mattered.
