Controversial runner Cybersnow made it three wins for the year as he landed the ITBA & Gain Horse Feeds Encourage Breeders To Go Racing Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse.
The six-year-old was originally banned from racing for two years after running at an unrecognised meeting in 2009, but that suspension was later overturned on appeal.
Cybersnow then went on to win at Downpatrick and Tramore and after a surprise defeat last time, he bounced back in style under Keith Donoghue.
The 5-2 favourite saw off Macidoni by two and a half lengths under a well-judged ride from Donoghue and trainer Emmet Butterly is now contemplating a switch in disciplines.
"The key to Cybersnow is good ground and we won't run him on winter ground," he explained.
"However, we may run next in a Flat handicap at Leopardstown over the bank holiday weekend and then may run in the November Handicap (October 31) at the same venue."
Jockey Andrew Lynch teamed up with his unrelated trainer namesake to land the ITBA M/L/W Region & Gain Horse Feeds Support Local Racetracks Beginners Chase with Ahorsecalledmolly.
Sent off the 11-8 favourite, he shrugged off a slightly lacklustre leap at the last to stay on well and deny Not Before Eight by a length.
"Ahorsecalledmolly is a tough and staying type who probably would have preferred a stronger gallop," said the winning handler.
"He likes good ground so I've no plans from here."
Paul Carberry obliged for punters as he steered 10-11 favourite Gala Dancer to a clear-cut triumph in the Winter Festival 2010 Maiden Hurdle.
Trainer Paul Nolan said: "Paul said Gala Dancer was a bit run off his feet early on today and was going as fast as he could go.
"He's a half-brother to Cloone River and although he doesn't have his pace, he should make a nice handicapper."< Information (6-1) held on for victory in the www.fairyhouseracecourse.ie Handicap Chase while Moon Over Moscow sprung a 33-1 surprise in the Winter Festival 2010 Mares Maiden Hurdle.
