Kaleosun left behind an odds-on defeat on stable debut at Cork when landing the Renvyle House Hotel 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle.

A winner on the Flat in France, the son of No Risk At All was prominent throughout under Jack Kennedy and took over in front at the second-last before staying on well to beat Ose Partir by a length and a quarter.

The 5/2 chance is trained for Gigginstown House Stud by Gordon Elliott.

"I think a bit of company and slower ground today helped him," said Kennedy.

"He probably isn't the quickest in the world but stays well and is a nice one.

"He is national hunt bred so will be alright on that type of ground for the winter."
