Lucius Tiberius brought up a treble for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore at the Curragh.
Moore switched him left a quarter of a mile out and his mount delivered his challenge between horses.
He hit the front over a furlong out and was soon ridden to go and win his race.
The Camelot colt asserted in the final 150 yards to come home by two and a quarter lengths.
He was popular during the day as his price contracted from 11/2 to 9/4 favourite for this mile and a quarter handicap. Active Approach (7/1) was the horse for forecast punters.
Aidan O'Brien said: "Ryan rode him in Ascot and said to drop him back.
“He's a progressive horse and Ryan said that in an ideal world he'd even wait a bit longer with him next time.
“Those Camelots seem to quicken, they handle good ground and quicken up off it which is great.
“He could go for a Listed race over a mile-and-a-quarter.”
