Youcantcallherthat brought up a double for Denis Hogan in Cork when successful in the three mile handicap hurdle.

The eight-year-old mare was never far from the pace on the outer and closed racing around the home bend.

She picked up the lead at the third last and nimbly jumped the penultimate flight with a lead of a couple of lengths.

Another good jump at the last sealed the deal as she came in by three and a half lengths at 4/1.

The places were occupied by the nicely-backed favourite Ask Heather in second at 7/2, Bitsandpieces a neck further back third at 4/1 and then 14 lengths to Benny In Milan in fourth at 33/1.

Jockey Brian Hayes said: "She was due to do that some day over hurdles. I just kept it simple and she just got away with the ground."
