4/6 shot Myska powered clear in the closing stages to run out an impressive winner on her debut in the bumper at Clonmel.

The Willie Mullins-trained daughter of Presenting tracked the leaders in the two-miler before being produced to challenge entering the straight.

Patrick Mullins sent his mount into the lead a furlong and a half from home and she was asked to quicken away inside the final furlong for a four-and-a-quarter length win.

"She's good and has been showing everything at home and is no slouch," said Mullins senior.

"She has a good pedigree and has a lovely bit of size and scope. She'll improve for that and will run next at Punchestown in the Mares' Bumper"

The winner is a half-sister to Daring Carlotta, who won three bumpers last year for the yard and was also placed in a Listed contest at Cheltenham.

It was a double on the card for Willie Mullins following the earlier victory of Nickname Exit
