Ishvana keeps it in the family for O’Briens

Ishvana (20-1) gave Aidan O’Brien a great start to day two of Royal Ascot ahead of So You Think’s victory in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes when winning the Jersey Stakes.

The trainer’s apparent second string behind Reply, and owned and bred by his wife Anne-Marie, Ishvana showed her second place in the Irish 1,000 Guineas was no fluke.

She battled on resolutely to hold the fast-finishing Sentaril by a length to give jockey Seamie Heffernan his first ever winner at the Royal meeting.
