Ivanovich Gorbatov leapt to the head of ante-post lists for the Triumph Hurdle following an impressive display on his jumping debut at Leopardstown.
The winner of two of his three starts on the Flat for trainer Aidan O'Brien, the gelded son of Montjeu was a 100-30 chance for the Paddy Power "Download Our New iPhone App" 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle, carrying the colours of JP McManus for the first time.
Willie Mullins' French recruit Let's Dance was the 4-7 favourite and was the first of the big guns to show her hand after being sent to the front before the home turn by Ruby Walsh.
However, Ivanovich Gorbatov was soon in her slipstream and once given his head by Barry Geraghty, O'Brien's charge quickened clear to seal a comprehensive victory by two and a quarter lengths.
O'Brien said: "Y ou should really be talking to Joseph (O'Brien) as he has done all the work with this horse.
"He's always been a natural jumper. He handled the ground but you would imagine that he will be a horse that will appreciate much better ground.
"Joseph missed doing the latest training course as he was away at the Breeders' Cup but he will be doing the next one that comes up."
Ivanovich Gorbatov is the 10-1 favourite for the Triumph Hurdle with Coral, while BoyleSports were particularly impressed, making him their market leader at 8-1.
