No Fear reappeared here last month with an all the way success over the trip. Pat Smullen dominated the field from the front but runner-up OCTAVIA can reverse the form as she pulled hard in the early stages and had nothing left for the finish. Ishebayorgrey showed nothing in his opening campaign but made a very encouraging reappearance behind Ringside Humour at Gowran and the winner has gone in again. Lady Mandeville can prove best of the remainder.
