Newcomer Not Now Darling (5/1) won the Dr Ivo O'Sullivan Memorial Flat Race in the hands of Adam Ryan.
The daughter of Notnowcato travelled well behind the leaders and hit the front inside the final quarter-mile before being ridden clear to beat Time In A Bottle by six and a half lengths.
Trainer Andy Slattery said: "I only have her 12 weeks and knew she was decent although we never got to gallop her on grass. She has a good pedigree and is improving.
"Pat Hurley, the owner, is from near Thurles, is a first cousin of my mother's and has taken back out his own training licence recently. Pat trained horses for years so she might go to a new trainer now although he might also sell her, so we'll see.
"I think she is decent and I think 2m4f over hurdles will bring out the best in her."
