Barry Geraghty secured a winner for his boss JP McManus as Just Call Me had all the answers in the two mile handicap hurdle at Cork. Indian Rupee boxed on from the front and looked to have seen off all his rivals but Geraghty manoeuvred his mount into second coming to the penultimate flight.
Just Call Me got on terms with Indian Rupee at the last where the latter made a mistake. Geraghty got into the drive position and booted his mount home on the run-in as Copy Print finished very strongly but had to settle for second.
The winner was returned the 2/1 favourite while Copy Print, who doubtless went into many notebooks, was an 8/1 chance. He was beaten by half a length.
Lady Chapala was a further three parts of a length in arrears in third at 20/1 with Indian Rupee dropping to fourth close home.
Trainer Andrew McNamara said: "He had been in great form and hopefully won't go up much for that.
"He's entered at Killarney next Thursday but we're in no hurry with him now and can relax!"
He added: "Barry (Geraghty) rode two horses for me in the past and told me that both horses won next-time out instead!"
