She saw the Henry De Bromhead trained 8-year-old home ahead of his stable mate and last year's winner 'Minella Indo'.
'Protektorat' - who is owned by Sir Alex Ferguson - was third.
Elsewhere, Willie Mullins trained the winner in the first three races of the day.
He and Paul Townend teamed up to win the Triumph Hurdle with 'Vauban' (pron: Vo-ban) and the Handicap Hurdle with 'State Man'.
Sean O'Keefe then guided 'The Nice Guy' to victory in the Novices´ Hurdle.
