The horse surprised everyone except its trainer Shark Hanlon when it claimed the Grade One on Sunday
A Roscommon club All-Ireland winner says he is still coming to terms with a major horseracing win last Sunday.
The celebrations are continuing for Cathal McHugh and his friends after their horse, Skyace, won the Grade 1 €100,000 Mares Novice Hurdle on Sunday.
The horse was bought just for just £600 and performed very well at Cheltenham in March before the success at Fairyhouse over the Easter weekend.

A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE from Jody McGarvey resulted in Janidil winning today’s Underwriting Exchange Gold Cup at Fairyhouse, as Willie Mullins delivered a one/two/three in the Novices Steeplechase.
In a fascinating race, one that saw Andy Dufresne jump superbly before running out of steam after the second last, Janidil burst from the crowd and got its reward for a fine jumping performance by winning with a degree of comfort.

It is fair to say there is no standout here. Atlantic Fairy is the obvious place to start given connections opted to sidestep Cheltenham in a bid to bring a fresher mare to Fairyhouse.
However, all of her best form is on heavy going, and given she is by Jeremy, does she want spring ground? Possibly not. Henry de Bromhead won the last running of this with a certain Honeysuckle and, along with Atlantic Fairy, is represented by Brave Way here.
She may not be at the forefront of the market but Brave Way would have solid each-way claims if back to her best.
