The Tony Mullins-trained Walmix got on top late on to land the concluding bumper at Wexford this afternoon.
66/1 newcomer Sadies Diamond made a bold bid from the front in the two-miler but couldn't hold the late charge of the Gemix gelding.
Conor Clarke got a good tune from the 16/1 shot as he prevailed close home for a three-parts-of-a-length success.
The winner had been fourth on his debut run at Tramore earlier in the month.
Mullins said:-"I thought a two-mile bumper might be a bit quick for him. He jumps well and I'd imagine he will go straight over hurdles now. Maybe he'll go to Galway, even though it might be ambitious for him.
"He is an excitable horse. He got a lovely introduction at Tramore and showed the improvement today, reversing the form with two of them from there.
"He is owned by some of the people who had Princess Zoe, the divided side! Philomena Crampton (Paddy Kehoe's sister) had a quarter share in Princess Zoe and she owns this one along with her daughter."
