Gaelic Arc made a bold bid to make all in the O'Dwyer Steel Dundrum Novice Steeplechase and his fluent jumping took all of his rivals out of their comfort zone but Shecouldbeanything #160;(2/1) went in pursuit of the leader from the end of the back straight and gradually wore him down.
The Gordon Elliott-trained mare, owned by Michael Hanrahan, mastered the gallant front-runner in the final 100 yards and scored by three-parts of a length.
Winning rider Sam Ewing reported: “It was happening quick enough for her early but she’s very tough and very genuine. She’s won going away at the line.
“Danny (Mullins, on Gaelic Arc) set a good pace, and I was after my one early but she finds so much I was never really too worried to be honest.
“She’s versatile ground wise and is so straightforward you could step her up in trip and she’s also won over shorter trips as well.”
