Shane Nolan's Gotta Getaway availed of a good run on the inner after the last to pick up the spoils in the extended two and a quarter mile handicap hurdle in Downpatrick.
The 16/1 shot came in by three and a half lengths from gambled-on Deauville Society (8/1 - 4/1) who had got his head briefly in front on the run-in. Gone Racing the 5/2 favourite, was a further two lengths away in third.
Jockey Eamonn Corbett said: "She ran a cracker the last day and I just got chinned on the line and I was unlucky.
"Today we just got a nice split up the inner and got there and kept going.
"We were confident enough coming here today, so it is great to get it done. She liked it around Tramore and it is similar to around here."
Gotta Getaway finished half a length second to Gone Racing when the pair clashed at Tramore in July. She had a 5lb pull in the weights today.
