Handicap debutant Franklin Street surged home in the final 100 yards to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery at Listowel.
He picked up well for Wayne Lordan to really hit his straps and win by half a length.
Joseph O'Brien 's colt was returned at 4/1. Troop Commander the 7/2 favourite, chased him home while Emperor Of The Sun kept on for third at 4/1.
Wayne Lordan said: "He is a lovely, straightforward horse and handles the ground.
"He improved from the last day when I rode him and he is after winning a nice pot today, so hopefully he will keep stepping forward."
