Getaway Gorgeous readily justified 1/4 favouritism in the bumper at Tramore.
She scooted home by a comfortable length and three parts from Mighty Stowaway (9/2). The Girl That Sang took third, some four and a quarter lengths away at 16/1 (from 66/1 in the morning).
Willie Mullins said: "Patrick (Mullins) was happy enough to stay wide on her.
"Her run last year entitles her to put in a performance like that. I think she'll improve and we'll look for a winners' bumper with her.
"She had a setback but has come out of that well and she should handle winter ground.
"She was very keen there so will have to learn to settle a bit better than that but I'm sure she will with racing and with hurdles; she is plenty big enough to go jumping."
Getaway Gorgeous brought up a double for Willie Mullins who also took the two mile maiden hurdle with Samcro's half-brother Think Positive
