Call Me Lyreen produced a workmanlike performance to justify 1-4 favouritism in the Visit Wexford.ie Novice Chase, the centrepiece of a Wexford treble for in-form trainer Gordon Elliott.
A wide-margin scorer at Kilbeggan last time, Call Me Lyreen looked a cut above his five rivals on ratings and, in front from before half-way, he delivered under Conor McNamara, doing enough to keep Trans Wood at bay by four lengths.
