Trainer Mullins, whose previous runner Thegreatestreward made a taking debut at Limerick last Saturday, later said “"I'm delighted with that and he is improving the whole time.

“He might be a horse for some of those lower novices. How good a race it was, I don't know but he is not doing anything wrong and is improving away.

“He is owned by an Italian man Daniel Furini who has mares with George Williams and he asked me would I take him.”
