Sea Wolf at 9/1 stayed on best to take the valuable Tote Irish Cambridgeshire for Ger Lyons and Colin Keane.
The four-year-old gelding, with the three white socks, chased the leaders in this 24-runner handicap before getting a lovely run up the inner inside halfway.
He tanked along into the lead for Keane with less than a quarter of a mile to travel and was soon ridden to try and assert. Sikandarabad (8/1) burst out of the pack to chase him in second with 100 yards left. He couldn't quite on terms as Sea Wolf closed out the race by half a length.
Ared stayed on strongly between horses for third at 14/1 with Hasanour rewarding his each-way backers in fourth at 12/1. Dream Walker the 7/1 favourite for Brian Ellison, came through for fifth.
Ger Lyons said: "He bled the last day at Galway so we came here with no confidence. He's in the big handicaps on Champions Weekend.
"David (Spratt, owner) is very good at finding these horses and bought him earlier this year. All bar one of the horses he's got have won."
