Philip Rothwell and Tiernan Power Roche combined for their fourth winner in four days when That’s About Right struck again at Thurles this afternoon.

The Califet gelding won his beginners chase at the track in late November before finishing second here in handicap company last month.

He went to post 9/4 favourite today and cruised into the lead before the final fence.

Power Roche asked his mount to go and win his race on the run-in and he galloped on strongly to post a cosy six length success over long-time leader Potters Party

Rothwell said:- "His jumping wasn't brilliant the day he won his beginners chase here but is getting better and better.

“Tiernan was very good on him and he jumped very well with him - I keep saying his 7lb claim is invaluable to me.

"The horse has been very lucky as I was finding soft ground all summer for him and was poking along through but Thurles this winter has really suited him. 

"I'm not quite sure where we go next and I'll see if I can find a novice handicap chase somewhere - he needs good ground."
