Sean O'Keeffe kept it simple off the front aboard 8/13 favourite Dysart Dynamo in the second split of the two mile maiden hurdle in Cork.
The pair cranked up the pressure on the field after three out and moved clear by the next.
Dysart Dynamo was further clear at the last, which he clipped, and galloped in by 19 lengths from 14/1 shot Lucky Tenner Flaming Moon (14/1) was another five lengths back in third.
Willie Mullins' Dysart Dynamo was easy to back this morning before rewarding support before the off. The money came this morning for Marvel De Cerisy who was pulled up.
Assistant trainer David Casey said: “We think he’s a fair horse. Sean said he did everything right, he jumped well, but was just having a little look around in front. But on the whole he galloped away and Sean said he didn’t realise he was so far in front as he was doing it easy.
“He’s not exuberant at home, but he does his job, and does it well. His jumping is very good. When he wasn’t running around, and was straight, he was brilliant, and Sean said it was just a little bit of inexperience in front and he’ll improve for it. He has a huge engine and when he goes jumping fences, he’ll be very good."
Paddy Power halved Dysart Dynamo from 16/1 to 8/1 for the Supreme and priced him at 12/1 from 16/1 for the Ballymore.
