Runner-up on debut at Clonmel in May, Miss Maxfort (16/1) landed the Racing TV 4-y-o Maiden Hurdle under David Doyle.
Tom Egan's homebred daughter of Order Of St George travelled well in mid-division and improved to lead at the second-last before staying on well to account for market leader Balko D'ange by two-and-a-half lengths.
Trainer Nicky Stokes was on lead-up duties and Doyle commented: "She was just very green and jumping up into the air a small bit at Clonmel. She was still green enough today and when we got competitive turning out of the back, she really latched on.
"I was getting there a bit sooner than I wanted, but she was kind of taking me there and I had no real choice in the matter. In fairness, when she hit the front she galloped right to the line and wasn't that green.
"Nicky is only around half an hour from home and I school over at his place every Sunday."
