Similar to the opening race winner, the Aidan O'Brien trained Bounty went one better than on debut when going in at the second time of asking in the Tifrums Irish EBF (C & G) Maiden at Naas.
Runner-up at the Curragh first time out, the No Nay Never colt was sent off a short priced 2/9f to shed his maiden status.
Smartly into stride under Wayne Lordan, the market leader always travelled strongly just off the early pace set by Brigadier Kakuru
Quickening up to lead over two furlongs out, the Ballydoyle colt went right away inside the final furlong to score by four-and-a-half lengths.
Wayne Lordan said: “He’s a nice colt and stepped forward from his run in the Curragh.
“He finds that pace easy so he’s going to be a quick horse. He’s showing that at the moment.
“He handles that ground fine, and he feels like he’ll handle quick ground as well.”
