His Majesty wins Listed contest on debut Aidan O'Brien ran two debutants in the GAIN First Flier Stakes and it was His Majesty (5/2) who overcame greenness to win under Semie Heffernan. The No Nay Never colt tracked the leaders but needed plenty of cajoling and a few reminders before picking up well to beat fellow newcomer Valiant Force by three parts of a length with the other Ballydoyle runner, Unquestionable, in third. Sturlasson got upset in the stalls and was withdrawn, leaving a field of five to take part. “He did it lovely, he's a lovely big sleepy horse,” said O'Brien. “They went a good gallop, it was a good race. Seamus gave him a chance and he came home very well. “Seamus said he had loads of speed but he was relaxed, he said when he clicked he found plenty. He's like a four-year-old, a big mature horse. “I'd say he'll have no problem going six but I wouldn't think five is a problem either. I'd say he can do either. “We are just trying to get them out, we've a lot of horses to run and we are trying to get runs into them. We are learning on the track about them. “You always try to get two runs before Ascot but it's hard enough to do it here because there aren't many races. It's a big advantage if you can. Wherever we can get him out again, we'll try. “Wayne was very happy with his horse (Unquestionable), he said he was a bit green in the middle but came home well too.” Quotes from Gary Carson
