Lucky Mistake made use of his position down the bottom of the weights to triumph in the Yulong Trophy Handicap at Leopardstown.
Danny Sheehy had to squeeze up the rail in the straight on the Fast Company gelding and Adrian Keatley's charge got the better of Perfect Soldier by a length and three quarters.
Sheehy reported: "He's funny enough in the stalls but he jumped well today. He's improving and travelled sweet throughout the race. I got a lovely run up the rail and there is no doubt that he'll get further.
"He's a tough horse and Adrian will get a lot of fun out of him."
Well-backed favourite Constant Comment wasn't helped by being very slowly away and going right leaving the stalls. He then pulled hard in last early but ultimately had every chance before finishing third.
T.P. Madden, rider of Escape Clause trained by Mrs John Harrington, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount ran freely early on and stopped quickly.
