The 9/4 favourite Adjusted showed a good attitude to forge on and win the Curragh’s mile and a quarter maiden, and gave Aidan O’Brien a four-timer on the day.

The Montjeu colt was always prominent and tracked Chicago Girl into the straight. It wasn’t until the final furlong that he opened up and put daylight between himself and the field. This was the first time he raced in blinkers.

Mick Halford’s Sindarban (9/2) saw the race out well to come home second, two and three quarter lengths adrift. This was the third race in-a-row that he has been runner-up. David Wachman’s No Wunder came home the same distance away in third. This was the fourth race in six that he has been placed.

Aidan O’Brien said: “He won well and kept galloping. He stays well. He's a grand staying horse and will make a grand jumper. He's a big solid horse.”

Joseph O'Brien brought up his Curragh treble on Adjusted.
