Wishmoor followed up on a course and distance success from 13 days earlier, again with Rachael Blackmore in the plate, in the Friends Of Naas RFC Handicap Chase.
Nearly a fortnight back the Winged Love gelding was always up there in a dictating role, and it was more of the same here from the 11/4 favourite.
Wismoor is now two from two since he's had cheek-pieces deployed, and he certainly earned his first prize of over eleven thousand euros here.
Eventual second and third placers, Close Shave and Kopookris threatened danger from before the final fence, but they couldn't quite live with the Gigginstown House Stud-owned victor.
At the line Mouse Morris' charge had three parts of a length and a length and a quarter in hand.
"That was another great ride by Rachael, even better than the last day. We'll freshen him up now and see where we go with him," said Morris.
"I'd say he wants better ground. It's very tacky down the back. We can step him up another furlong or two on better ground."
