The opening Dermot Weld winner at Galway 2017 looked like it was about to arrive but the Rosewell House representative So You Thought was mown down late by Jet Streaming in the Win Big With Tote Handicap.
Three to one favourite So You Thought just couldn't cope with the finishing burst of the Adrian Keatley-trained and Danny Sheehy-ridden Jet Steaming (7/1) who got up to land the spoils by half a length.
It was the same distance back to Ontheiflist in third. In an exciting conclusion Pandagreen was three parts of a length back in fourth.
"Danny (Sheehy) is a young lad with loads of experience and he was unfortunate to get a bad fall during the winter," said Keatley.
"It just took him half a dozen rides or so to get back into the swing of things but he's strong.
"I'm delighted the filly won and she'll definitely step up in trip. With another furlong she'd have won a bit easier and she'll be even better next year.
"All that happened her last time was that she got caught out for a bit of toe for fifty yards or so."
Danny Sheehy (10th winner of the season) meanwhile commented: "I was a bit slow away but it kind of suited as I was told to take my time.
"I got a lovely run up the inner and when the gap came I had to switch.
"There's no doubt she'll stay further."
