Five went to post in the Tote Bet 5 Euro Get 20 Euro At Tote.ie Maiden for older horses and Dream Escape was another winner for rising star Conor Stone-Walsh.
The red-hot 7lb claimer had his mount to the fore throughout and the Iffraaj gelding went clear over a furlong out to beat Rick Dalton by three and a quarter lengths.
There was plenty of market support for the winner who was sent off 9/5 but of course ' identity mix-up' horse Indigo Five who ran and 'won' as Ano Manna in race three on the card, and Chautuaqua were significant non-runners.
Tom Mullins trains the winner for the Fill My Glass Syndicate and said: "I always thought a lot of him but it just didn't materialise until now. He handles good ground so well that we were afraid of the ground but were confident enough.
"He'll go hurdling - that's the plan and he's the first winner for the syndicate who are five women from Tinryland, Co Carlow, who couldn't be here but will be delighted."
