Aidan O'Brien's horses are now beginning to ratchet up the pressure after a slow start to the season and the Champion Trainer completed a double at Naas today when his Table Rock landed the concluding Follow Us On Facebook Handicap, also completing a double for jockey Joseph O'Brien.

O'Brien, successful with Due Diligence earlier, later stated “he's progressive and whatever it is about those Fastnet Rock's (Table Rock's sire), they get better and improve and improve. That was a Danehill trait too.

"He's versatile trip wise and we'll step up in class now and could be an Ascot horse."
