The Henry de Bromhead-trained Rosalys justified favouritism in the Broadstreet Bar & Grill Rated Novice Hurdle, as she comfortably accounted for 10-rivals.
Successful in a Huntingdon bumper on debut when in the care of Emma Lavelle, the Workforce bay was placed on recent starts at Cork and Punchestown respectively.
Sent off the market leader at 10/3, the Jayne McGivern-owned five-year-old was kept to the outer by Rachael Blackmore.
Always prominent, she improved into a share of the lead after three out and gained a narrow advantage on the run to the penultimate obstacle.
Kept up to her work on the run-in, the 109-rated victor eventually came home two-and-a-quarter lengths to the good, with Miners Bridge (11/1) filling the runner-up spot.
The front-running Jumping Susie (5/1) was another length-and-three-quarters back in third for double seeking John McConnell.
"She's put in some good runs, so it was great to get her off the mark there," Blackmore commented.
"She ran really well at Punchestown, and she's a real galloping type, and galloped all the way to the line.
"Hopefully now she's on the right track and she'll produce a bit more for us. She's consistent, and she definitely has a preference for nicer ground, so this is her time to shine."
