< Dream Walker swooped to land the spoils in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF 'Ahonoora' Handicap at Galway.
Just three days on from his third here, the Brian Ellison-trained grey was delivered last of all by Chris Hayes to deny Reckless Endeavour by a neck as a 7-1 shot.
The front-running Tribal Path managed to cling on to third spot, with Cailin Mor fourth. Baraweez stablemate of the winner and successful in this race in 2014 and 2015, was just behind them.
Market principals Alelchi Inois and Clarcam had the At The Races Chase between them from three out, jumping the obstacle upsides.
But Willie Mullins' Galway Plate runner-up Alelchi Inois, the 4-9 favourite, had much more in the locker and careered 32 lengths clear of Clarcam, without Ruby Walsh having to get serious.
The form of the Plate was advertised further when Devils Bride defied top weight in the Lord Hemphill Memorial Handicap Chase.
Also trained by Mullins and ridden by Walsh, the 13-8 favourite didn't take the lead off Draycott Place until after the final fence and stayed on strongly to score by eight lengths, effectively crowning Mullins as top trainer for the week.
Dermot Weld had to go close to winning the last three races to pip Mullins and started with a victory courtesy of 15-8 favourite Tarazani in the JPK Fencing Handicap.
However, his well-touted newcomer Mounira faded into sixth behind Nonetheless (5-2) after cutting out the running in the Kenny Galway EBF Fillies Maiden, and he had to settle for second in the Fr. Breen Memorial (Pro-Am) Flat Race when First Figaro was denied by Mountain Rock < Sea Light was second when favourite here on Wednesday and was bang in contention when again well supported in the Galway Shopping Centre Handicap Hurdle.
However, he came down at the last, easing the cause of leader Garri Rua (14-1), who stayed on to beat Bye Bye O Bye by six lengths.< Camlann (5-1) reached the frame twice here earlier in the week and made it third-time lucky under Rachael Blackmore in the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle.
