The Store Boy justified favouritism in fine style in the first division of the Sheridan Electric Maiden Hurdle at Ballinrobe.
Darragh O’Keeffe produced the 6/4 shot to lead going to the last in the two-miler and he asserted turning for home.
Henry de Bromhead’s charge pulled clear in the closing stages to record a six-and-a-half length success over Press The Button
The winner was going one placed better, having been runner-up at Kilbeggan last month
"He had a couple of good runs in the winter, but just struggled to see out his races on testing ground and he's a real summer horse,” said O’Keefffe.
"He'd a nice run at Kilbeggan and we thought he'd stepped forward from it.
"It was straightforward today. He jumps very well and he's one you'd be looking forward to over fences."
