Very easy for The Great War As a starting price of 1/9 would suggest, there was no fuss for The Great War and Joseph O'Brien in the opening Most Improved European Breeders Fund Race at the Curragh. The Tipperary winner eased away inside the final furlong to defeat Bawana by three lengths. Winning trainer Aidan O'Brien said: "I'm delighted and he's fast. He's made lovely progression from Tipperary. "He could come back here for the Marble Hill if the ground is fast and if not he could go straight to Royal Ascot. "He'll only run on fast ground."
