Lake Champlain added to his hurdling gains from less than a fortnight back at Gowran, by triumphing in the Dundalk Stadium On Facebook Handicap under Fran Berry.
Jessica Harrington 's 3/1 favourite led under two furlongs out, having chased the leaders, and he stayed on well in the final furlong to keep Eye Of The Tiger at bay by three parts of a length.
"He enjoyed being back on the Flat after his few hurdles runs and they obviously did him good," said Berry.
"It was a messy race. He used to be very free but with the hood on Jessica said to ride him like he stayed. There was no pace early but we got cover in behind.
"He had 8st 12 tonight having lumped 11st over hurdles so I'd say he enjoyed it."
