The C&C White Maiden Hunters Chase was won by Ballydesmond (10/1) who was partnered by Oran McGill.
Runner-up in three of his last four point-to-points, the Presenting gelding tracked front-running 9/4 favourite Focus Point before jumping past that rival at the second-last. From that point he stayed on well to beat the market leader by nine lengths.
Winning trainer Caroline McCaldin also saddled Faith Loving who departed at the third-last.
Oran McGill said: "He's only a six-year-old, he is probably still improving away there. He won well and he is a nice horse.
"I just wanted to hold him together as long as I could, he wouldn't do a whole pile in front. Once he quickened up, he did it well. He sprung off that ground.
"I think that is six winners on the track now. Hopefully I'll have a good summer, stay sound and keep at it."
