Dancing Tornado made a successful switch back to timber when claiming the 2m3f handicap hurdle at Naas.
Adrian Heskin gave the gelding a confident ride, hitting the front after the last and going on to record a cosy three-parts victory over Nintytwo Team
"He didn't jump well on is last couple of runs over fences and we wanted to sharpen him up a bit," said winning trainer Michael Hourigan.
"I'm delighted that Adrian got a chance to ride him. He's a good kid and that's his eleventh winner. He's only 17 so I'm minding him a bit.
"The winner will probably go back chasing now. A New Story also ran some race (fourth) and will go to Cheltenham now for the cross-country."
