Diyala just held on, after a last flight blunder, to land the spoils in the mares novice hurdle at Wexford.
Gordon Elliott's charge looked set for an easy victory after skipping clear approaching the final flight in the two-mile event.
Barry Geraghty let the Tiger Hill filly (3/1 from 4/1) fiddle the last but she got it wrong and lost momentum as a result. Kilbarry Beauty who had been pushed along in fourth two out, flew home on the run-in and just failed by a head to peg back the winner.
Royal Moll was sent off the easy-to-back 9/10 favourite (from 4/6). She was ridden along to challenge turning for home but had no more to offer before the last before keeping on the same pace on the run-in.
Winning trainer Gordon Elliott wasn't present to welcome back in his winner.
