Davy Russell moved onto the 36 winner mark for the season when partnering a 45/1 double highlighted by the gambled-on Urban Rebel in the beginners chase.
The Pat Doyle-trained gelding, backed from 8/1 down to 11/2, put in a fine round of jumping and held the late challenge of Martinstown by a length.
The victory was sweet pickings for one lucky jackpot patron who scooped a dividend of e16,243 as the sole winner of the carryover boosted pool of e21,657.
Sky To Sea, purchased by amateur rider Jimmy Barcoe over the summer, initiated the Russell double in the 2m maiden hurdle when heading the front-running evens favourite Port Jeff before the last for a 2 1/2L win.
'He'd done plenty of work and we were hopeful that he would do himself justice. We may switch him back to the Flat (rated 46), while he could go for the good handicap hurdle at Listowel,' said trainer Dick Donohoe.
However Russell is still 21 behind Ruby Walsh (57-36) who landed the mares hurdle with Prairie Moonlight, making her Irish debut for Liam Burke.
Formerly with Charlie Mann, the 6yo was sent off the well-backed 5/4 favourite and led before two out to beat Goose Island by five and a half lengths.
'She's a decent mare and rated 130 in Britain, although Ruby said she would be better suited coming off a strong pace. I'd love to put her over fences but the owner is not keen.'
'He wants to get some black type over hurdles but hopefully I can talk him around! She could go to Tipperary for their big meeting next month,' said Burke.
Deep Return (Paul Carberry) got the better of market rival Kings Orchard in the featured handicap chase, with a mistake at the last by the latter settling the issue.
'We changed the bit the last day as he tends to jump out to the left and its been a good help. He jumps well but won't go on heavy ground,' said trainer Noel Meade.
Bullhill Flyer provided Kildare trainer Sabrina Harty with her first winner at Roscommon last month, and he followed up in the 2m3f handicap hurdle.
A third winner for his rider Shane Hassett (18), the five-year-old gelding headed the flattering Abow on the run-in to score by a length.
'Moving him up in distance has made a big difference, and we may go for a two miles race on the Flat,' said Miss Harty, who has seven in training and a few more currently being broken in.
Hegarty's Rock, trained by Andrew McNamara and ridden by his son and namesake, survived an objection by connections of the runner-up after an exciting finish to the 3m maiden hurdle.
The Long Haul made a bold bid to make all and, after being joined by Hegarty's Rock at the last, the pair got very close in the closing stages.
'He stays all day but was a sick horse when disappointing last winter. He could come back for a novice chase here next Friday,' said McNamara senior.
Golden Aran (8/11f), representing another father and son team of Christy and Padraig Roche, made odds-on punters sweat before just getting the better of a protracted battle with Brave Right in the bumper.
