Downpatrick trainer Brian Hamilton claimed the opening handicap hurdle with Honest Man partnered by Andrew McNamara, which scored readily, while Crossgar handler Colin McBratney landed the maiden hurdle with Market Force which battled best from the last flight to claim the prize.
The first two winners were returned at 12/1 and 14/1 with Irish Champion jump jockey Ruby Walsh riding the favourite in both the races.
The champion got on the score board at the Lisburn venue when prevailing by a short head on the odds on favourite Persian City, maintaining the winning form of trainer Willie Mullins in the novice hurdle with runner up Clarkey appearing to have won prior to the photograph.
The feature chase saw Bobbawn appearing set for victory having been in the first two prior to leading four from home and was holding a clear advantage approaching the penultimate fence where Aidan Joyce's mount fell, leaving the pursuers to scramble to gain the imitative with 20/1 chance Lasse Viern all out to win by a head from Garryowen Star, while favourite, Ross Accord, the mount of Ruby Walsh, filled fourth having never been able to get on terms but only beaten by three lengths.
Punters had a change of fortune in the final three events with Peplum justifying favouritism in the beginners chase for trainer Edward O'Grady and providing Andrew McNamara with a riding double, while Paddy Pub won the hunterchase in convincing fashion for trainer Kieran Purcell and rider Jimmy Burns.
Nina Carberry who had landed the concluding bumper the previous evening at Sligo was again the friend of the punters when easily collecting the finale on the Noel Meade-trained, Prima Vista, a very well bred newcomer with scope to collect again in winners company.
