There was an absolute blanket finish to the 47-65 handicap over a mile in Dundalk and it was Miss Abby Jools with Adam Caffrey taking a crucial 7lb off, that got the verdict.
From 8/1 in the morning, she was backed down to 10/3 on the off.
She was produced to lead inside the final furlong and kept going to see off Royal Tribute (10/3) by a neck. Blue Wood was a short head back in third at 20/1.
Caffrey said: "We jumped and it was a bit messy in the first furlong and it kind of lit her up.
"I was happy where I was once I took her back and left her where she was comfortable. Charles (Byrnes) said to leave her where she was comfortable in the middle of them.
"She's a real gutsy filly and gives all, and she really showed that there today.
"I went for one gap when we turned in and it wasn't there, I switched and had to switch back again but she was very gutsy today and all heart.
"This is my first ride for Charles, it is good to get outside winners especially for Charles."
