Cantkidakidder made the most of his opportunity after getting in as first reserve in the All New Renault Koleos Handicap Hurdle at Wexford.
James O'Sullivan bounced out and made the running on the 7/1 shot in the two-and-a-half mile contest.
The Noel Dooly-trained gelding looked like being swamped going to the last hurdle but rallied gamely and got home by half a length from Select Opportunity
O'Sullivan is enjoying a good week having also partnered Runyon Rattler to success at Bellewstown on Thursday.
The winner had been available at 12/1 this morning was supported from 9/1 on course.
O'Sullivan said:- "I rode him twice before. I was second on him in Bellewstown and I rode him here the last time on soft ground and he absolutely hated it.
"I was told to jump out handy today so when there wasn't anyone going on I just decided to drive on and see what happens. In fairness to him he stuck down his head and galloped to the line."
(Quotes by Donal Murphy)
