Ross O'Sullivan is enjoying a notably successful Flat season and is looking forward to saddling a pair of runners at Royal Ascot this week.
The trainer is operating at a strike rate of more than 25 per cent in the early months of this campaign and Follow Me has been a significant contributor with two victories in the Curragh. He is set to line up for the Britannia Stakes over a mile on Thursday.
O'Sullivan said: "We can't wait!
"Everything has gone right for Follow Me, we are really looking forward to it.
"He has won over 6f and 7f (in the Curragh), but he is a relaxed horse. It is just the lottery of the Britannia - you could be the best horse, but end up on the wrong side of the draw.
"As much as we are keeping him in handicap company, and in his own age bracket, you are going to need a lot of luck.
"The horse is in great form and I am delighted to have him."
The Kildare-based trainer also sends Warrior Brave across the Irish Sea for his third crack at Royal Ascot having finished unplaced in the Buckingham Palace Stakes last year and the Wokingham in 2022.
"Warrior Brave will go for the Wokingham on Saturday. He prefers to be running a bend instead of a straight, though," O'Sullivan said.
"He has been there the last couple of years and Eleanora Kennedy (owner) is keen to have a runner. She loves going and why not?
"He is more of a social runner, but should still run respectably."
"To be going with two runners from a small yard is very exciting."
