Gavin Cromwell brought up his Downpatrick double through Soldaro who had Sean Flanagan on board in the mares' handicap hurdle.
The 7/1 shot travelled well in third after the penultimate flight and grabbed a narrow lead at the last. From there, she kept on best to win by a length and a quarter from 3/1 favourite Parvos Return To Base was a length and a half further back in third at 14/1.
Cromwell said: "She's starting to get the hang of it. She's a nice mare and I always liked her as a young horse. She is a half-sister to Jeremys Flame and it has just taken her a while to get the hang of things.
"Hopefully, she can continue on an upward curve.
"I might try and find something again before the end of the jumps season. She absolutely loves that soft ground, so we will see."
Cromwell took the opening race on the card through Law Ella with Keith Donoghue up.
