Ballydoyle colt All The King's Men got off the mark with the minimum of fuss when claiming the five furlong maiden on the card at Naas.

Donnacha O'Brien had the 4/7 shot to the fore throughout and he was the definite leader at halfway.

The No Nay Never colt quickened away over a furlong from home and ran on strongly in the closing stages to post a three length success.

Stable-mate Never No More another son of No Nay Never, kept on nicely to chase him home.

The winner had been turned over at even-money on his previous two outings but made no mistake today on his fourth career start.

Aidan O’Brien said:- “Donnacha said he’s a fast horse. He went to Listowel and the soft ground got him. He wants a nice bit of ground — I’d say that is the key to him.

“He had a good run here before Listowel.

“The second horse ran very well also, and you would have to be happy with him on his first run. We liked him a lot in the spring and he had a lay-off and he’s just back.”
