Tellthemnuttin led home a one, two, three, four for County Wexford trained horses in the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle at Bettyville.
Chris Timmons rode the successful Shantou mare for Willie Codd and the Heads Or Harps Syndicate, and she stayed on too powerfully up the straight after getting a patient ride, to see off other local hopes, Whitber's Choice Tawseef and Summerhill Lewis
The distances were two lengths, a length and a half and four lengths.
"She is just an absolute superstar for the syndicate. They've had so much fun with her," reflected Codd post race.
"I went to Punchestown the last day so confident that she'd win but she got badly hampered at the first hurdle, two horses fell in front of her. She lost about fifteen lengths but still managed to finish second.
"It's great to have a winner here. She's had two runs here and had two wins. She has been in a year now and the minute the ground turns she is off. That could possibly be her last run until the spring and she'll go over fences next summer.
"I'd love to have a few more like her and I'm delighted for the syndicate. I don't know how good she could be but if I could sneak a bit of black-type with her somewhere along the way it would be brilliant. She's is as tough as old boots."
