After winning the fifth with Edvardo Harry Kelly and Sean Flanagan quickly doubled-up in the last, the O'Kelly Brothers Demolition Novice Handicap Hurdle, with Twiss's Hill
Sent off the 6/4 second favourite, the daughter of Acambaro was left in front at the fifth as the 11/10 favourite Unic De Bersy crashed out.
The winner soon went clear of her two rivals and while her lead was reduced on the approach to two out, she kicked on again after that flight and came home ten lengths to the good in the colours of owner/breeder Eamonn Durack.
Trademarked (12/1) finished second under Phillip Enright for Austin Leahy, while Fairy Field was twenty-three lengths back in last.
Harry Kelly said afterwards: That's my Cheltenham today!
"She received one pound (weight rise) standing in her stable the other day and that put her out of the 0-95 handicap hurdle on Saturday so we came here instead.
"She is very genuine and I hope Noel (O'Brien) isn't too hard on her now. She'll stay hurdling this season and wants a dig in the ground - she'll get her break when it dries up."
Bryan Cooper was sore but otherwise okay after his fall from Unic De Bersy.
