The 2/11 favourite Finest Evermore landed the MansionBet Best Odds Guaranteed Maiden Hurdle in a fashion every bit in keeping with her cramped odds.
The Cork bumper winner made all and jumped well out in front, going effortlessly clear from two out to win by 23 lengths from Papal Lodge
The daughter of Yeats was runner-up in a 3-year-old bumper at Exeter last October for Harry Kelly, and is unbeaten in two starts for Willie Mullins.
She raced for the first time here in the yellow colours of her new owner John Turner.
Winning rider Paul Townend said: "She jumped like a pro. She is a typical Yeats as her home work is never flashy but she produced it on the track and that's where it counts.
"She is a lovely buy for John Turner and hopefully he will have plenty fun with her.
"She is definitely a potentially smart mare and we won't hold her low head carriage against her."
