Marble Angel picked up the apprentice handicap at Dundalk before she heads to the Sales.
The 13/2 shot tracked the leaders and travelled well to lead in the final quarter of a mile. She soon asserted at the business end and swept home by two and a-half lengths for Jack Kearney. Velvet Skies finished second at 28/1 without laying a glove on the winner. Distillate was a neck further back in third at 16/1.
Andy Oliver said: "Jack gave her a lovely ride and everything went to plan - jumped, got a nice position, just carried into the race. She travelled very sweetly.
"Gap opened up and she just went through, she was probably there plenty soon but she could do nothing else and did it very smoothly. All good.
"She's going to Newmarket Sales, so she is on the boat tonight for her trouble.
"I'm pleased she has won three. We persevered with her into her four-year-old career because we thought there was something there. It took a while, but at least we got it right eventually!"
