Only one winner was required for a return and that looked optimistic with one non-runner and two losers among the six selections.
However the other three delivered the goods with 14/1 pick Data Collection winning at Sandown , while King Alfonso and Ever So Much, both backed at 12/1, saw the winning line at Cartmel.
The three winners were enough for a whopping return of €7,271.
