Jaqen H'Ghar swoops for O'Briens

Jaqen H'Ghar (7/2f) came from last to first to land the mile and a quarter handicap for brothers Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien.

The three-year-old son of Fastnet Rock was dropped in by Donnacha O'Brien but had made headway to sixth coming to the final furlong.

O'Brien was looking for a split but then switched his mount left and Jaquen H'Ghar stayed on strongly to mow down his rivals and win by a length and a quarter. Vintage Charm (20/1) and Breenainthemycra (10/1) took the minor honours in second and third respectively.

Aidan O'Brien, representing Joseph O'Brien, said: "He probably likes being ridden that way. He was very patient on him.

“Joseph said he'll keep him to those type of handicaps.”

This was Jaqen H'Ghar's third career victory and first at this trip.
