Coming Up Easy was a fourth horse on the card at Limerick to grab a breakthrough success.
The 8/11 favourite was never far from the pace and breezed into the lead with a quarter of a mile to travel in the Supermac´s (C&G) Maiden Hurdle over 2m5f.
He was clear jumping two out and the race was over once he popped the last. Mike O'Connor guided him home by a whopping 20 lengths to the cheers of his backers.
Main market rival On Lovers Walk (5/2) couldn't land a blow in the straight and finished a remote second. King Casey (12/1) was another five lengths adrift in third.
O'Connor said: "He is a gorgeous-looking horse and is a big, straightforward type.
"He had been running consistently in maidens so, going off his previous runs, he'd run a nice race today.
