There was drama at the start of the Watch Racing TV Rated Novice Hurdle in Downpatrick as the 11/8 favourite Boston Jury jinked and unseated Jack Kennedy.
It was That's About Right who resumed winning ways at the end of an extended 2m5f to bring up a double for trainer Philip Rothwell.
He made eye-catching headway from the rear to lead at the last and powered eight lengths clear on the run-in to score at 8/1. Dinoland (16/5) picked up a runner-up prize for John McConnell and Ben Harvey.
Jockey Conor Owens said: "Small field and the way it was run, really suited (him).
"I was kind of disappointed with him the last two days after an unbelievable win in Wexford three runs ago.
"We went to Bellewstown and he was very disappointing, but I felt nothing went right on the day. They took hurdles out down the back and it turned into a sprint.
"The last day in Kilbeggan the ground went really bad with the rain and today it was perfect. It might not have looked on his last couple of bits of form like he had a chance, but I was fairly confident that he would run well."
Rothwell's Only One Plan delivered in the second race under Tiernan Power Roche.
