Good As Hell got the nod after a photograph to determine the outcome of the Tipperary Racecourse Handicap Chase.
Niall Moore bustled her along in fourth racing to the penultimate fence and his mount made good headway to come with her challenge at the final fence. Fly De Megaudais from 2lb out of the handicap, was trying to fend off both Good As Hell and a staying-on Politicise on the run-in, however he gave best in the closing stages in the middle of the pair.
Good As Hell and Moore availed of the far rail as they tried to make the best way home, but Politicise and Carl Millar really came at them close home to force the photo.
Good As Hell clung on by a nose at 11/1 from the 22/1 runner-up. Fly De Megaudais was a length and three-parts back in third at 28/1 in a race where the Tricast paid €6474.22.
Trainer Philip Fenton said: "Her previous win was here over 2m1f and she has a preference to go left-handed. Niall was very good on her, went around the rails and took every opportunity that was there, so top marks to him.
"We'll keep her on the go for the summer and see where we might end up."
