Zaidpour duly landed the odds with the minimum of fuss to take his winning run this season to four in the Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran.
The 2-5 shot eased into the led under Paul Townend before the third-last flight and had his rivals struggling after that.
The Willie Mullins-trained gelding crossed the line without being asked a question as he strolled home six and a half lengths in front Kalann with Darwins Fox third.

Restless Harry gamely made all for victory in the Betfred Goals Galore Hurdle at Haydock.
Henry Oliver's mount never seems to run a bad race and showed tremendous determination in very testing conditions to hold off last year's winner Cross Kennon in the closing stages.
Favourite Featherbed Lane loomed into contention three out but made a mistake and started to tread water to leave the front two to fight out the finish.
It was a close call at the last but Restless Harry dug deepest to score admirably by five lengths
