Hurricane Fly produced an electric turn of foot to run away with the paddypower.com Future Champions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown.
The four-year-old sprinted after the last flight to put 10 lengths of daylight between himself and his rivals.
Willie Mullins said: 'He is a serious machine. Paul gave him a cool ride, he know every inch of this horse, he rides him in all his homework. He will be entered for all the Novice hurdles at Cheltenham.'
