Mon Storm served up a shock in the feature at Down Royal - the three mile Tommy Donnelly Bookmaker Hurdle.
Last year's winner Go Another One was a warm order at 4/5 to go in again and attempted to make all.
However, he was headed on the run to the second last by Tullybeg who in turn was picked off by Mon Storm approaching the final flight.
The 10-year-old gelding stretched eight lengths clear on the run-in under Darragh O'Keeffe at 16/1. Tullybeg passed the post in second at 7/1.
Victor Wilson, who has four horses in training, said: "He always runs rightly and he had run well here before. He should have won here in the spring time."
On O'Keeffe's ride, he added: "They say it (class) is forever, a wee bit of class helps!"
