Fletchers Flyer proved stamina is his forte when grinding out success in the marathon Madra Irish Dog Foods Handicap Chase.
Harry Fry's British raider remained a novice over fences after a winless campaign up until now, but travelled smoothly in the front rank under Noel Fehily.
The 13-2 chance took up the running a long way out in the three-mile-six-furlong test and though favourite Forever Gold gave chase in the straight, he could not get to the winner, who was two and a half lengths clear at the line.
Sizing Coal took third, while Folsom Blue was fourth.
Fry said: "Everything went foot perfect. He jumped for fun, and it all went right to plan the whole way. Noel was fantastic on him.
"It's great for the Masterson family who are delighted, and they've been great supporters of mine from the start.
"After his last gallop I've never known Noel to be as excited about one.
"He's a novice all next season, and it's possible he could go for the four-miler at Cheltenham and then go for a National."
