Doitforjane Sid recorded his third win of the campaign when readily landing the Infinity Lifts Handicap Hurdle over three miles.

After back-to-back wins in October, the eight-year-old had been well beaten on his previous couple of starts and was sent off a 22/1 chance. Having tracked the leaders, he was produced to lead two out by John Shinnick and went away to beat The Story So Far by six and a half lengths.

Owner/trainer Donncha Duggan said: "He got a bit smothered the last day in Navan when he had too many horses around him and missed the break and never travelled. We said we'd get him out good and sharp today.

"I told him (Shinnick) to go out on the nice ground and it worked.

"I'm based only 30 miles from here so this is great and while I had been critical of the handicapper, maybe he was right!"
