She's All Vintage powered home from the last to run out a convincing winner of the mares maiden hurdle at Sligo.
The Patrick Magee-trained mare got in as second reserve in the two-and-a-half mile contest and made the most of her opportunity.
6/4 favourite Call The Fairies hit the front over the second last but was tackled turning for home by She's All Vintage as Ryan Treacy got a lovely run up the rail.
The Beneficial mare hit the front on the run-in and stayed on strongly close home to record a five length success.
The 2/1 winner had been backed from 8/1 this morning. She had kept on without threatening when eighth in a strong looking maiden hurdle at Punchestown on her return nine days ago.
Magee, based in Shercock in Cavan, said:- "I thought she got a savage ride from Ryan.
"I was a bit worried about the ground but she did it well. She's a Beneficial mare and she wants proper soft ground.
"I only have my licence since January and that's my second winner."
Treacy added:- "Paddy had her in great order coming here today. He was very confident.
"She jumps well, travels well, it wasn't a hectic race but hopefully there'll be another day in her."
