Last seen when landing a gamble at Sligo in August, That's Me Finished (5/1 fav) followed up when coming from off the pace to land the concluding 2m7f handicap hurdle at Punchestown.

Pushed along in sixth at the second-last, Jody McGarvey's found plenty for pressure and headed Callmedusty after the last to score by a length and three-quarters. 

Winning trainer Noel Kelly, also in the winner's enclosure at Naas yesterday with Cave Court, said: “He battled it out well. He’s not the most straightforward horse to train.  

“He had wee niggly injuries after the last day he won and we gave him a break.  

“He’s a nice horse, the ground today probably didn’t really suit him. We took a chance on him. 

“It was very testing and two furlongs out we were panicking, you can hear these boys (What’s It All About Syndicate) in thestands! 

“He stays all day and is probably a better horseon nicer ground. He’s a novice now until September time.”
