Do Ya Feel Lucky wore down the favourite Mam Trasna in misty conditions in the Ger Murphy Plant Hire Maiden Hurdle at Tramore.
Mam Trasna traded as short as 1.02 as he led on the run-in, however, Do Ya Feel Lucky finished the stronger halfway up the run-in to take the spoils by half a length with Darragh O'Keefe in the plate.
The winner was easy to back at 14/1 with the runner-up going off at 6/4.
The pair finished clear at the business end as third-placed Dunbar (8/1) was nine lengths adrift.
Trainer Harry Kelly said: "They are running well thank God. She is a filly we like. We went the point-to-point road with her because she was for sale. It's not a three mile family, I had Carthalawn in his later days and it's a two mile family. Her half-brother Miliner is a two miler as well.
"The last day she ran well but we thought she was a lot better than that. Darragh gave her a good ride, he is a good 7lb claimer and did exactly what he was told. She did it nicely and is one to look forward to.
"We will try and place her now and she is for sale. Jamie (Codd) was at us to go for a bumper but we just said we'd go for a hurdle and, if it didn't click after two runs, we'd go back for a bumper."
Kelly also scored in Tramore yesterday with Rathnaleen Tou at 14/1.
