The 7-2 favourite, who raced in the nearside group, broke free of his rivals with a furlong and a half to go and powered clear up the centre of the course in the style of a horse head and shoulders above his opponents.

The placed horses were spread across the course with Do Or Do Not second on the far side at 80-1 and Coppull third on the near side at 66-1.

Aidan O'Brien: "What can you say? He’s a lovely horse. I’m delighted for the lads and for everyone. He didn’t get out for a while and was standing in a queue, but won very nicely first time. He’s making up into a very nice horse and looks like he’ll definitely get seven furlongs.

"Gstaad is a good horse in his own right but Albert Einstein has always been something else. He's something that we didn't have before.

"From the first day he worked he's the most different horse we've ever seen. He's so quick. He's so big we had to back off him a little bit but he's very exciting."

Ryan Moore: "He was very impressive. I thought he travelled beautifully, and we got to the front a long way from home. He’s a tall horse and is obviously improving with each run and that was a very good performance."
