Campaign planned for The Great War Exciting juvenile The Great War is likely to put his unbeaten record on the line in the Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday week. The American-bred colt showed he possesses speed to burn when justifying long odds-on favouritism over five furlongs at Tipperary at the end of April and he was just as dominant on his second start at the Curragh earlier this month. A third victory on Irish Guineas weekend will surely earn him a place in trainer Aidan O'Brien's Royal Ascot squad. The trainer said: "He'll probably go for the Marble Hill. I think we'll keep him to fast ground. "The ground was unusually good (at the Curragh) for this time of year and we wanted to get a second run into him."
