In somewhat similar circumstances to their earlier winner, Alphabet Aidan and Ana O'Brien's Orderofthegarter routed the opposition in the concluding Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Maiden at Naas.

Always up there in a forcing role, Orderofthegarter was pushed out to go clear under two furlongs out, and the twice previously second placed Galileo colt kept on strongly to easily beat Tommy Hallinan by eleven lengths.

A i d a n O'Brien said: "He'd a couple of good runs. He galloped home well and will get further. He'll step up now and could go to Leopardstown for a Guineas Trial.

"We are happy with the way the horses have run today. You are never sure how forward they are this time of the year before you run. We won't have a two-year-old runner out until the Dundalk meeting (on April 12) or maybe the meeting here the weekend before that. They will be just ready to start.

"Caravaggio will work here tomorrow and then the plan is to go to Dundalk for the Listed Patton Stakes (on April 12) over seven furlongs. Everything seems fine with him so far.

"Churchill is good and everything seems to be fine so far with him as well."
