“He’s a lovely horse, he does everything – every race he’s stepped-up and stepped-up – and we feel he’s stepped up again,” said O’Brien, winning the Coral-Eclipse for a sixth time.

“I’m delighted for everyone – delighted for the lads. It’s always a nervous time as he’d won two Classics. For him to do that makes it very special,” said O’Brien.

“I was hugely impressed. The two horses he had to run against have proven to be as good as any horses in the world – he’s very exciting,” said jockey Moore.

“He’s straightforward with a real turn of foot. When I asked him to go, he put the race away very quickly.

“When you’re running against two proven horses, that are as tough as they are, they are going to get you off the bridle at some stage – he was very good in the final furlong,” added Moore.

St Mark’s Basilica was cut to 6-4 from 3-1 for the Juddmonte International. O’Brien hinted the Irish Champions Stakes could also be a target.
