Heavily-backed Tiberius Thunder (3/1 overnight, returned 8/15fav) showed plenty of promise in scoring on debut at Dundalk today, landing the Put The Fun In Fundraising At Dundalk Maiden for Amo Racing and jockey Wayne Lordan.

By leading stallion Night Of Thunder and out of a Group 3-winning mare, Tiberius Thunder displayed signs of greeness but finished well to lead inside the final furlong an beat more experienced Waterford Flow by three-parts of a length.

Winning trainer Adrian Murray reported "he's going to improve a lot, there is a huge engine there. It was his first day at school and he has never been anywhere. He dug deep and he is far from the finished product: he is going to improve an awful lot.

"He will probably go for a winners' of one in Naas on the second week of the Flat season next and we will probably supplement him for the Guineas as well. He has a bright future."
