Jordan Gainford landed the opening two-mile maiden hurdle with Has Me Dreaming at Kilbeggan on Wednesday.
The 14/1 chance, trained by County Meath-based Cian Collins, had plenty to do on the run to the final hurdle but he finished with a flourish and got up in the dying strides to pip the Edward and Patrick Harty-trained 4/1 shot Clonshire River by half a length.
