Iamagetaway found little when the question was asked and first-reserve Tell Nobody Nothin raced by in the closing stages to win the William Hill Each Way Extra Challenge Series Handicap Chase over an extended two-miles-three-furlongs.

Iamagetaway jumped into the lead two out and soon moved nicely clear. He appeared to be on good terms with himself before the last, but tied up on the run-in as a staying-on Tell Nobody Nothin and Donagh Meyler grabbed the initiative in the closing stages.

The winner delivered by four lengths in the end at 5/1 from Harbour Highway (12/1) who got up for second from Iamagetaway (11/8f).

Noel Meade said: “He’s been threatening to do that for a while.

“I don’t know what to make of him, maybe that’s his trip. When you’d run him over two-and-a-half(miles), it looked like he wanted three but, when you run him over three, he looked like he wanted two-and-a-half.

“He’s been disappointing. The race kind of fell apart in front of him which was a help, but he did find plenty today which was strange.

“Maybe he’ll come good for us now. His mother was a good mare and he’s a gorgeous-looking horse."
