Kudbegood made a long awaited breakthrough at Dundalk last time and wasted no time following up this afternoon on the polytrack.
John McConnell 's charge had been placed on 11 occasions before winning at the track 16 days ago.
That win obviously boosted his confidence as the 7/1 posted back to back wins.
Siobhan Rutledge was on board again and produced her mount to lead inside the final furlong and record a half length win over Muraahin
“Maybe he's learning. He was very good there, he hung out a little bit and maybe he doesn't like the greyhound track or something!” said McConnell.
“It was quite a competitive little race. He missed the break but luckily enough they went hard in front and I was happy enough with where he was with half a mile to go.
“I'm delighted and hopefully he can go forward again. He's really thriving, he looks great and he's enjoying himself. He loves this surface and it's taking nothing out of him which is good.”
