Roicead from the Jessie Harrington stable shed his maiden on the second time of asking when he came home in front of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C&G) Maiden.
Fran Berry who was prominent for most took up the lead from over two furlong outs.
The pair kept on well inside the final furlong to score by a length.
Winning trainer Harrington said afterwards: “It has been a nice couple of day, it’ll keep us going.”
“The fellow had a nice run at Fairyhouse, he can run a bit free and he hardly got around the first bend but I’m delighted with him.”
“It’s my first winner for the owner Mick Daly, he bred the horse too which is great.”
“He’s fair old machine and we’ll look for a handicap next on a flat track somewhere like the Curragh with plenty of runners so he can get some cover.”
