Ridden by Ryan Moore, Churchill eased to the front with more than a furlong to go to win ahead of runner-up Thunder Show with Irishcorrespondent in third.

"He wasn't enjoying the ground so I tried to help him along," said Moore.

"But when I asked him he was there. I have always rated him."

With the victory, Churchill became only the ninth horse to complete the Newmarket/Curragh 2,000 Guineas double.

"He is very exciting and hopefully go for the St James's Palace Stakes," said O'Brien who now has a remarkable 70 victories in European classics.

"He would have no problem stepping up to 10 furlongs later in the year. He is so versatile and relaxed."
