An easy-to-back 6/1 chance, Dreamsrmadeofthis made a winning debut in the Follow @Corkracecourse 4-y-o Fillies Maiden Hurdle.
She tracked the leaders before moving up to tackle the 15/8 favourite Fraternity after the second last.
Mark Walsh sent her on before the last and the Walk In The Park filly wasn’t hard pressed to account for the market leader by four and a half lengths. It was another five and a half lengths back to the third home Brookline (9/4).
It was a 51st success of the season for the winning rider.
Bred by Noreen McManus, the winner is out of Upsie who won four times over hurdles for Willie Mullins.
Winning trainer Enda Bolger said: “She is out of a very good mare and was showing us all along she has talent. However I thought all along she'd have taken the race to make her street-wise but Mark said she was very professional.
"She was never going to point-to-point as she is racey and everything comes very easy to her. I'm over the moon and didn't think beyond today."
