Sent on from a long way out by Johnny Burke, the 4-11 favourite had only Rendezvous Peak for company over the last three fences, but Sandra Hughes' charge stuck to his task well to win by a length and a half.< Bright Prospect lived up to his name with a solid success in the Like Kilbeggan Races On Facebook Maiden Hurdle.
Liz Doyle's 7-2 chance was one of a quartet who broke clear on the back straight, but only had Miami Present for company at the second last.
Jumping the last as one, it was Brian O'Connell's mount who found more, running out a one-length winner.

Denis Hogan's Troubled Soul ran out a convincing winner of the Pig 'N' Whistle Pubs And Restaurants New York Maiden Hurdle.
