Robert Tyner sent out Kobalt St Georges to win in the colours of Brendan Keogh at Clonmel on Thursday and had news of the latter's exciting four-year-old I'm Slippy who landed the valuable Tattersalls Ireland George Mernagh Memorial Sales Bumper on debut at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting in April. 

The Maxios gelding cost 70,000 euro as a store and recouped most of that when beating 16 rivals in the hands of Josh Williamson. 

"I'm Slippy is good and while he was entered for Wexford on Monday, we decided not to run as they were watering," said Tyner.  

"He jumps nicely and he always jumped well. He hadn't a lot of schooling done this year as the ground was too good, but we had been popping him away last year.

"He will probably come on from his first run, we'll start him off at two miles and then see."
