Missy Tata extended her winning run to four as she claimed a comfortable verdict in the Text Your Bet To Paddy Power On 51465 Fishery Lane Hurdle at Naas.
Gordon Elliott's charge was a winner at the Punchestown Festival back in April before adding victories at Killarney in May and Limerick last month, but this Grade Three event represented a step back up in class.
However, the four-year-old made light work of the challenge and she was well in control jumping the last, eventually come home four lengths clear of Slowmotion as the 13-8 joint-favourite.
Willie Mullins' Koshari was was the other market leader but he failed to land a meaningful blow in the two-mile heat and finished last of the four runners.
Elliott said: "She's not a bad mare. We were thinking about going jumping fences with her but I'd say she could win plenty of prize money if we kept her over hurdles.
"Keith (Donoghue) gave her a good ride, and that's good for him, so I'm happy for him. Keith rode his first graded winner last week and that's his second in a week now."
Prince Of Scars had to settle for second behind fellow Gigginstown House Stud-owned runner Road To Respect (12-1) in the Download Paddy Power's Messenger Betting App Beginners Chase.
Winner of the Grade One Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown last year, Prince Of Scars was sent off the 9-10 favourite for Elliott and Ruby Walsh as he had his first try over fences.
However, the Noel Meade-trained Road To Respect proved a shade too good in the hands of Sean Flanagan, running out a two-and-a-half-length winner.
Elliott's General Principle made it a clean sweep of the places for Gigginstown finishing a further two and a half lengths adrift in third.
Meade is now eyeing a jump up to Grade One level with the winner.
He said: "He's a lovely horse. Eoin (Griffin) had him last year and I feel sorry for him. I'd say he's matured a lot and got a bit stronger.
"He's a nice horse. He jumps well. He would have needed that a bit as we didn't really do that much with him.
"We just thought we'd let him come to himself because last year we thought he had a couple of very hard races in his first couple of races against real good horses.
"We were hoping that he'd run well but I wasn't saying he was going to win.
"I'll have to wait and see where we slot in now. There is no reason why he wouldn't run in the Drinmore. There were probably good horses there behind him.
"I know Sandra Hughes's horse (Acapella Bourgeois) was gone (fell at the first fence) and it's probably too short for Gordon Elliott's (Prince Of Scars) but it was still a reasonable race and I think he should come on from it."
Elliott may have been out of luck in that event but he soon chalked up his 100th win of the season as Baltazar D'Allier (6-4 favourite) claimed the Call Paddy Power For Free On 1800 721 821 Maiden Hurdle by six lengths under Mark Walsh.
The trainer said: "He's a nice big horse and is something to look forward to.
"He's still very babyish and won't come into his own until he jumps a fence.
"It's nice to do it (have 100 winners). Obviously last year we trained our first 100 winners, but it was February before we did it."
Ruby Walsh did enjoy success in the opener, finishing strongly on board Saturnas to win the Hospitality at Naas Maiden Hurdle comfortably for Mullins and owners Wicklow Bloodstock Ltd.
