THE exacting demands of the three and a half miles BoyleSports Grand National Trial Handicap Chase brought out the very best in Ifyoucatchmenow who left the form of her first three runs over fences well behind to claim a last gasp success for Willie Mullins and Conor McNamara.

For the winning rider this represented his second €100,000 handicap success in as many months following his Dan Moore Chase triumph on Charlie Stout, while Mullins was adding to his previous wins in this race with Some Target (2011) and Hedgehunter (2003). A capable hurdler, Ifyoucatchmenow (14/1) came here off an eighth to Minella Indo at Navan last month but this gruelling stamina was just what she wanted.
