The conveyor belt of Joseph O'Brien-trained winners continued in the last at Down Royal when Como Park (13/2) came from well back to land the Molson Coors Beverage Company Handicap.
The blinkered Camelot colt, a Leopardstown maden winner on his previous start in June, led inside the final furlong to beat Regally Blonde by a length and a quarter. The 10/3 favourite Fennor Cross was a further half a length back in third.
Winning rider Declan McDonogh said: "He stays well. We went a good pace and I was happy to sit back out of the fight early. He finished off the race well.
"I think he appreciated getting his toe in today, a little bit of ease in the ground helped him.
"He's a horse on the up and could be improving. He's a fine, big, physical horse and he could be going the right way."
