Joseph O'Brien's Alazne (9/4) relished a step up in trip to get off the mark in the Tote Fantasy Who´s In Your Stable? Handicap.
An extended mile and three furlongs brought the best from this filly who was involved in a four-way scrap for hours in the final furlong.
She saw it out best for Dylan Browne McMonagle to grab the lead in the closing stages and wasn't for stopping as she went on by three-parts of a length from Cruiscin Lan (10/1).
This was a race reduced to seven runners due to five scratchings.
Assistant trainer Brendan Powell said: "She is tough, stays very well and that's all she did today. She was up in trip and there is no reason why she can't win another one.
"She is a big filly and will be one for the breeding shed after her racing career."
