Thedevilscoachman was delivered with a perfectly-timed run by Mark Walsh to land the BetVictor Boyne Hurdle at Navan on Tuesday.
Trained by Noel Meade, the six-year-old was returning to the smaller obstacles after running over fences twice this term, chasing home Cheltenham Festival contenders Ferny Hollow and Saint Sam.
Back over hurdles, Thedevilscoachman (4-1) travelled well throughout the two-mile-five-furlong trip for Walsh, as Ashdale Bob made a bold bid for victory from the front.
