For Pleasure recorded his second win of the season, as he took the Paddy's Rewards Club Handicap under Rory Cleary for James Barrett.

Successful at Navan in April, the chestnut son of Excelebration finished third, second, and fourth on his three starts since.

Sent off at 5/1 this evening, he raced mainly in fourth, and was ridden in third as they entered the straight.

He soon came with his challenge on the outer, and got to the front inside the final 200 yards, keeping on well from there to prevail by a length and three parts.

Joseph O'Brien was responsible for the second and third, Remmy D (14/1) and Dream Point (10/1). Flindt was sent off the well-backed 15/8 favourite (from 9/4 on-course and from 7/2 in early shows), and he finished fifth.

Cleary said afterwards: "He's a tricky enough horse to get to settle but when he settles he does it well. He was too hard on himself the last couple of runs."
