Having just denied one of Ken Condon's in the previous event Shane Foley teamed up with the Kildare trainer to take the last with Montebell
Foley conjured a good turn of foot from the daughter of Dylan Thomas in the mile-and-a-half fillies maiden.
The 10/3 favourite hit the front over a furlong out and soon quickened clear to record a two-and-a-quarter length success.
The winner had shaped well on her debut when third at Navan and the form received a boost when the fifth placed Father Of Science scored at Chester.
"This is always a nice maiden and there were some beautifully bred fillies in the race," said Condon.
"Her dam was Group placed and she ran a lovely race at Navan. On that basis she was entitled to be favourite and I was very happy that she turned up and did it.
"Last year she was very immature and we did nothing with her. The owners were very patient. She'll go for a stakes race next."
