Age Of Kings just denied on debut at Naas last month, made no mistake on his second start in the Holden Plant Rentals Irish EBF Race at the Curragh.
The son of Kingman cost 1.1 million guineas as a yearling and looked a quality sort here making all and stretching clear inside the final furlong under Ryan Moore to justify odds of 4/7.
The Ballydoyle colt had a comfortable four lengths to spare over promising newcomer New Image with New At Ten a further four-and-a-half lengths adrift in third.
O'Brien said, "We're delighted with him, he was very green the first day and he got it together there so it was nice.
“They won't all go to Ascot, some will stay at home, and if he doesn't go he could stay for the Railway or something.”
