Un Hinged made every post a winning one to claim the Ladbrokes.com Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse.
Alan Crowe gave the gelding a finely judged ride from the front and kicked on before the last.
The 25/1 shot stayed on strongly to post a four-and-a-half length victory over C'est Ca in the €90,000 event.
"I'm absolutely thrilled. He's a good horse and we bred him ourselves. It's wonderful to get a big race with him," said owner/trainer John Coleman.
"He's a pleasure to have. He's a fairly wound up little horse but always performs when he goes racing.
"The intention is to go chasing. He's ten now and I think we'll give him a year or two chasing."
James Nash, advisor to the winning trainer, explained the change of tactics:-
"He didn't do a stroke in the Lincoln last time. We've always dropped him in and today said we'd do something different."
The crowd was well down for the last day of the Easter festival at Fairyhouse.
