Emma Beag turned the three-mile maiden hurdle into a procession at Sligo when running out a wide margin winner.
Sean Flanagan 's mount cruised into the lead two from home and the 2/1 co-favourite was clear jumping the final flight.
The Liz Doyle-trained mare extended her advantage on the run-in to record a 31-length success.
The winner had been turned over at a short-price last time at Downpatrick but the trainer revealed afterwards that she had suffered an injury then.
“I thought she might sink in the ground but her mother, Emma Jane, won a Grade 3 in bottomless ground and she absolutely loved it,” said Doyle.
“She looks like a winter mare and we'll tip away with her during the winter. I'm delighted with that.
“She severed a vein and had a very bad overreach last time. We'll look for a handicap off a low weight.”
