Unbeaten O’Brien stars out to bag Nobel prize

Aidan O’Brien has entered his unbeaten juvenile pair The Great War and War Envoy in Monday’s Alfred Nobel Rochestown Stakes at Naas.

As their names would suggest, both are by the increasingly influential stallion War Front, and the former has already scored at Tipperary and the Curragh, while the latter won his only start over this course and distance.

The Great War was taken out of the Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh last weekend because of the ground.
