Going to two out in the Dale Farm Dromona 3-Y-O Hurdle, outsider Jlow was the meat in a Joseph O'Brien-prepared sandwich and soon gave way as stablemates Inspire Hope and Teriferma (6/4 fav) went on.
In unison over the last, the pair had a good scrap on the run-in before last week's Killarney winner Teriferma, in the colours of Bronsan Racing, took command in the final 50 yards to score by half-a-length.
Winning rider JJ Slevin said: "It was a good performance,to be fair to him, giving all the weight away. He's improving away.
"She (Inspire Hope) was (a bit quicker over the last), but my lad got himself together at the back of it and stuck down his head and tried hard.
"He couldn't have done any more than what we have asked of him. Sure he's an exciting one and we'll see what happens when the winter horses come out.
"It is dry ground out there, but he didn't mind it."
