Youcantcallherthat calls the tune for Hogan Youcantcallherthat stormed clear from the last fence to run out a comprehensive winner of the mares novice chase at Thurles. Magic Of Light and Kate Appleby battled for the lead for most of the three-mile trip and ensured a strong gallop in the race. Trainer/rider Denis Hogan charted a wide course throughout on Youcantcallherthat and produced his mount to lead soon after the third last. Kate Appleby Shoes crashed out at the penultimate fence and 15/8 favourite Magic Of Light had no more to offer before the last as Youcantcallherthat asserted going to the final fence. The 12/1 shot stayed on strongly on the run-in to post a six length winning margin. "It was great for the lads (Lostwelton Syndicate) who are great supporters of mine; there are six of them, all from Monivea, and I could hear them cheering on the run-in!” said Hogan. "She shouldn't have run at Naas but the lads got a notion and told me to enter her and with the small field, it looked like she could get a bit of black-type but my chance as gone after two fences as she couldn't go with them over the trip. "She's a proper staying mare and will probably go for the Graded Mares Chase at Limerick over St Patrick's weekend next. She will be ideal for all those staying handicaps next year too and they'll have plenty more fun with her." The winner had been third here last month, over two-and-a-half, in Grade 2 company behind Dinaria Des Obeaux when Magic Of Light was second and Kate Appleby Shoes fourth. She made a bad mistake two from home that day when in contention. Youcantcallherthat had been well held in fourth behind the exciting Benie Des Dieux on her most recent outing over two miles at Naas 12 days ago. (Quotes by Tom Weekes)
