Judkin ran out an impressive winner of the Pegus Horse Feed Point-To-Point Flat Race, scoring under Eoin O'Brien for trainer Jimmy Mangan.
Second on his debut at Tallow in February, the son of Milan went one place better on his next start at Lismore.
Fitted with a tongue strap today, the five-year-old victor was sent off a 12/1 chance, and was settled behind the leaders.
He was fourth as they entered the home straight, soon coming with his challenge, hitting the front over a furlong out, before going on to score comfortably by eight and a half lengths. Billaway who was sent off an easy to back 15/8 favourite, finished second under Tom Hamilton for Willie Mullins, while Occupied (5/1) was another ten lengths back in third for Derek O'Connor and Eoghan O'Grady.
Mangan said afterwards: "He was one of the fattest horses I've ever had when he came in training, and has never run a bad race and cantered up at Lismore.
"He'll be out to grass now and is really a horse to look forward to. We think a lot of him and he'll go hurdling next season. I rate him highly and he has a lovely attitude and is from the family of One Man."
