Aidan O’Brien’s Whistlejacket booked a trip to Royal Ascot when comfortably accounting for three previous winners in the Listed-class Gain First Flier Stakes at The Curragh.
The brother to champion two-year-old Little Big Bear had to settle for second best behind Joseph O’Brien’s Cowardofthecounty over six furlongs on his debut last month but went one better in fine fashion at the minimum trip.
O’Brien said: “He’s a fast horse, he’s progressing nicely. I’d say five or six (furlongs) will be no problem, he has plenty of speed for five anyway. The last day it was six, but he’s not short of speed.
"I don’t think he will (run again before Ascot), he’s had two runs. You never know, but I don’t think so.”
Paddy Power responded by cutting Whistlejacket from 12-1 to 7-1 for the Coventry Stakes at the Royal meeting, a race which O’Brien won for a record 10th time via River Tiber last year.
