Youcantcallherthat and Holy Motivation were engaged in the 2.35 here yesterday as were two of the reserves. The first two would be obvious contenders were they to run here though Ricky Doyle's presence on Rain In Spain should also ensure a big run. Charles O'Brien's mare was only headed in the dying strides by Messie at Punchestown and shouldn't have any problems with the longer trip. Iknowwhereiamnow makes her handicap debut over this longer trip and faces a stiff task but EURO SO BRAVE, a winner over 2m4f at Fairyhouse a year ago, has been crying out for the extra and looks the one to beat.
