Williams had reservations about Court Minstrel being a natural chaser after his schooling had only been average, but the Llancarfan handler had to alter his opinion when the seven-year-old put in a good clear round of jumping on the way to a smooth success.
Only four runners lined up for the South West Racing Club Novices' Chase, and as the betting suggested it turned into a duel between Court Minstrel (evens) and the 10-11 favourite Keltus.
Keltus made the running but Court Minstrel enjoyed being given a lead and travelled comfortably in the hands of Paul Moloney.
Asked to take command, Court Minstrel put the race to bed in the straight to win by two and a quarter lengths. The first two pulled 36 lengths clear of Ladies Dancing in third.
"I was probably a bit pessimistic before as his schooling had only been OK and that had been off an synthetic surface," said Williams.
"There is no doubt that when he got some decent fast ground he found an inch or two and I thought he jumped exceptionally well.
"The second horse is a very good standard and I think we can only have positives.
"I was only 50-50 whether he would take to jumping fences. After today I'm 100 per cent. I suppose the logical place we will go to now is Cheltenham (next month) for the novice chase there as long as he comes out of this race OK.
"He jumped very well and he always travels well. I can't see any negatives."

Eight of the 14 jockeys in Baggy Hillis Memorial Steeplechase at Te Rapa failed to finish amid chaotic scenes.
It was bedlam over the fences at Te Rapa, Waikato's premier racecourse.
In the last day of the jumps racing season on Sunday, the Baggy Hillis Memorial Steeplechase turned out daggy - and not for the faint-hearted.
Fourteen horses faced the starter for the 4000m event with 15 fences to jump, but just six completed the course after a chapter of accidents, and one of those was more than 100 metres behind the others.
Veteran commentator George Simon reckoned Baggy Hillis, a character of New Zealand jumps racing who died three months ago, would be laughing in his beer at what unfolded.
The chaos began at the first jump, where favourite Noah Jon crashed and Hold The Dream followed him out.
Another popular fancy with the punters, Hemingway, crashed at the next fence, and Just Gorgeous, who jumped it poorly, was pulled out of the race.
''They're dropping like flies for you Baggy,'' Simon exclaimed.
Straight Furrow joined the action when he ran off the proper route after rider Reece Cole lost his stirrups and control of the horse.

Baggy Hills race not for the faint-hearted
A former punk enthusiast and son of a Stockton electrician has been named as the new controller of BBC Radio 3.
Alan Davey, the chief executive of the Arts Council, succeeds Roger Wright, who left the BBC this year after 15 years in charge of Radio 3.
Billingham-born Mr Davey, a former director of arts and culture at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, is a passionate advocate of the arts.
He is expected to earn less than the 227,000 of his predecessor Wright, although exact details of his salary will not be confirmed until after he has started the job.
However, it will still be a substantial pay increase for Mr Davey, who is thought to have earned between 110,000 and 120,000 at the Arts Council where he has been chief exec since 2007.
Unlike Wright, Mr Davey will not be directly in charge of the Proms, with a director of the eight-week summer season of concerts, who will report into the new Radio 3 controller, due to be appointed.
Said Mr Davey: Radio 3, the BBC Performing Groups and the Proms together form one of our most important cultural institutions and a beacon of excellence, there to help everyone discover the best in music, arts and ideas.
It is an honour to be asked to lead this wonderful institution and to renew it for the digital age, helping new audiences to encounter the wonderful things serious music and culture can bring.
Mr Davey grew up in Stockton and his father William was an electrician at ICI.
A music nut, his passion for arts and culture started as a child visiting pantomimes at Stocktons Hippodrome and at Billingham Forum.

During October's annual national Energy Awareness Month, experts at Superior Walls recommend focusing on the basement of the home to lay the groundwork for years of savings on energy bills.
"For builders and consumers starting the new home construction process, one of the most important decisions they can make is what type of foundation to have for a home," says Jim Costello, president of Superior Walls. "Building an energy efficient structure starts with the foundation. Choosing a precast Xi or Xi Plus concrete foundation provides 'bottom up' energy savings that can have long-term financial benefits for a homeowner.
Precast concrete panels by Superior Walls are steel-reinforced and created in the manufacturing process with DOW Styrofoam boards, which provide excellent rigid foam insulation. The resulting wall panels provide a dry, warm, damp-resistant and exceptionally energy-efficient foundation for a home.
"Having a dampproof basement does more than just help homeowners save on energy bills, it provides added living space in a home," says Costello. "People with Superior Walls foundations use their comfortable, finished basement space for home offices, family rooms, hobby activities and exercise areas in the home."
Superior Walls insulated precast concrete wall systems have earned the Green Approved Product designation by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Research Center.
For homeowners and facility operators, the benefits of Superior Walls foundations systems are substantial. The energy-efficient walls help lower energy costs and reduce energy leakage while providing increased living and storage space in a comfortable setting. Builders also benefit from saved job site time and labor when certified Superior Walls installation crews set the walls in place in less than one day, so that construction can immediately begin the following day.
Each Superior Walls panel is custom made to the specifications of an individual home, including built-in openings for windows and doors. Pre-engineered access for wiring or small plumbing elements along with smart stud facing for easy drywall installation are included and help speed up the installation process.
