Only four and a quarter lengths split the first four home in the Connolly's Topline Bagnalstown Mares Handicap Hurdle at Gowran but Iknowwhereiamnow ran out a good two and a half length victor under Simon Torrens.
Philip Dempsey’s mare tracked the leaders through the two miler and she was fourth three out.
Ridden, the daughter of Arcadio improved to lead after two out, staying on well inside the final furlong to account for Rebel Early
The runner-up was eye-catching, coming home well from the back.
Meanwhile the gambled-on Moll Dote was fourth on debut for the Declan Queally yard.
“She was a bit unlucky in Limerick and then I thought it was a bit far for her the last day. She was in good form at home," said Dempsey.
“When her jockey (son Luke) wasn’t available we said we’d take a few pounds off her and Simon gave her a lovely ride.
“She’s been lucky for the lads (Clive and Frank Beattie) and they bred it themselves.”
Rachael Blackmore, rider of Rebel Early trained by W.J. Burke, reported to the Clerk of Scales that her mount never travelled.
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Robin Gold trained by Jonathan Fogarty, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.
