Miss Arccol defied top weight of 12 stone in the second split of the mares' handicap hurdle at Cork.
She made steady progress under Kevin Sexton between the final two flights to take a fractional lead at the last.
A nimble jump saw her land full of running and she was ridden out to go on by a length and three parts at 10/3. Eaton Lady was second best at 12/1 and was half a length in front of Elite Des Mottes at 7/1.
Trainer Peter Fahey said: “She’s a filly that has been improving and hopefully she continues to progress. We were a bit worried about the ground and Kevin gave her a good ride.
“Tom Keane runs the syndicate and he was also involved in the horse (Insane Bolt) that won in Galway yesterday, so he’s after having a good couple of days.”
Miss Arccol was runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Sligo in July before finishing third in a handicap hurdle at Limerick.
This was her first victory on her eighth start.
