Fab four for Yeats the great

Aidan O'Brien's eight-year-old (6-4 favourite) was settled in behind the early leaders, but Johnny Murtagh sent him to the front well before the turn for home and he quickly put distance between himself and his rivals.

Patkai was the only one to come out of the pack and make inroads up the home straight, but Yeats found plenty for pressure to record a momentous victory.
