The 2-1 favourite, trained by Aidan O'Brien and ridden by Michael Kinane, won by 11 lengths - a record for the Group One race over the straight mile.
Where Or When (7-2) was a distant second with Olden Times third. Only six ran as Duck Row was a non-runner and Desert Deer refused to go into the stalls.
The Curragh trainer has already notched up a classic victory this season with Refuse To Bend in the 2,000 Guineas, his 17th career classic, but hopes are growing that Miss Nashwan might add to that despite a lacklustre effort in her last race.
Miss Nashwan was five to four favourite for a Listed race at Navan 11 days ago but flopped and finished seventh out of eight.
'The only thing I can put that down to is the ground which was very heavy that day at Navan and she couldn't handle it.
'At the moment it's reported good in Milan which should suit her as she won on good to firm in Italy last year as a two-year-old. Pat Smullen will ride,' said Weld.
Mutakarrim will represent Weld in next week's Savel Beg Stakes at Leopardstown, leaving the double Irish Leger winner and last year's Savel Beg victor, Vinnie Roe, on the sidelines for the time being.
'As I've said before I intend to give the horses that came back from Australia last year more time,' he reported.
Another Irish horse likely to be in Group One action this weekend is Hawk Wing who has been left in both Saturday's Lockinge at Newbury and also the Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp.
Aidan O'Brien has left in both Yesterday and L'Ancresse, his two star fillies, in the Prix St Alary on Sunday, the main trial for the French Oaks.
Looking ahead to the Curragh's Group One action on Sunday week, the Mooresbridge Stakes winner Nysaean is reported to be on target to return to Ireland for the Tattersalls Gold Cup.
The Curragh authorities also said yesterday that David Elsworth's Indian Creek is a possible for the race.
The return to form of the Willie Mullins string has been dramatic in recent weeks and the trend can continue at the trainer's local track this evening.
A total of four successes at the Punchestown festival, including two Grade ones, confirmed that Mullins has turned the corner from the sickness that hampered most of the 2002-03 season.
One of those Punchestown winners, Rule Supreme, takes a drop from the €90,000 festival pot to the two-and-a-half-mile conditions chase at Gowran tonight but his 142 rating makes a good argument for a follow up.
Behind Rule Supreme in that Punchestown race was his stable companion Killultagh Thunder and afterwards Mullins was keen to point out how well that horse had run considering some mistakes he had made.
Killultagh Thunder goes in the second division of the Beginners Chase and can end a good fixture for Mullins who also has the high class but disappointing Alexander Milenium in the opener.
Bodakker tries to conclude an 11-day hat-trick in the handicap hurdle. The horse is 12lbs higher for a course win but in the meantime followed up at Ballinrobe and appears in excellent form.
The first division of the Beginners Chase looks the more open contest with the 114 rated Beausheram and the Jim Dreaper trained Cherry Hunter looking to be strong contenders.
Michael Hourigan however is another trainer in form and his Moss Bawn has always looked a type to improve for the graduation to fences.
Rockstown Boy followed up a Limerick success with a decent sixth to Royal Rosa in the Champion Bumper at Punchestown and should be one to follow in the second maiden hurdle. Brian O'Connor
During a media open day at Ballydoyle on Monday, O'Brien expressed satisfaction with Brian Boru's third to Alamshar in the Derrinstown Derby Trial.
He was also quoted as saying that the object was in 'trying to get Brian Boru to do the right thing, rather than winning the race.'
He also reportedly said that a battle with Alamshar was 'the last thing we wanted.'
These comments were highlighted by the specialist trade paper, the Racing Post, yesterday.
As a result the Turf Club chief executive Denis Egan said: 'We will take another look at the video and we will probably ask Aidan to elaborate on his comments. We will decide then if we need to hold an official enquiry.'
Brian Boru finished a head and two and a half lengths behind Alamshar and The Great Gatsby on Sunday, giving both 5lbs on his first start of the season.
Jockey Seamus Heffernan used his whip a number of times on the colt and the running and riding of Brian Boru was not examined by the racecourse stewards.
Yesterday O'Brien declined to comment on the matter.
The Turf Club also moved yesterday to give the popular Kilbeggan track a licence to race for this year. That licence had been withdrawn on April 28th after the infield ambulance road failed an inspection.
The decision, taken after another inspection on Monday, means Kilbeggan will after all be able to race on its next date, May 26th.
'There have been substantial improvements to the problem areas that were bumpy and it is safe,' said Egan.
However, following the June 23rd meeting, the road will again be inspected to ensure the present satisfactory standard is being maintained.
O'Brien will be hoping for more positive news at Gowran Park this evening and if the pattern is anything to go by he should get it in the first seven furlong race of the year for two year olds.
O'Brien has won it for the last four years including with the subsequent Group 1 victors Spartacus and Landseer.
Tonight the Danzig colt Antonius Pius has just three opponents and will clearly be hard to beat.
Dermot Weld gives Prominent Feature another crack at losing his maiden tag in the second division of the maiden and the colt should be a lot happier than when only fifth to Fontanesi on very soft going at Naas.
The first division looks good for Alisar who should improve significantly on a fourth to Dalcassian at the Curragh on his only start to date.
Blue Corrig was fancied to score on his last start at Tipperary but found Doire-Chrinn too good. The Crowley runner can go one better in the nine furlong handicap.
Crimson Flower is on a hat-trick following a Wexford success on the flat and a victory at the Punchestown festival. The eight-year-old can do it too in the Ladies Handicap. Brian O'Connor
Danehill, the sire of last season's brilliant miler Rock Of Gibraltar, was responsible for both Clodovil and Catcher In The Rye, who were first and second respectively in last Sunday's French 2000 Guineas.
Danehill was the leading sire of Pattern-race winners in Europe last year with 13 winners of 24 races, knocking another Coolmore inmate, Sadler's Wells, off top spot after a reign of six consecutive years.
The most prolific of his winners was Rock Of Gibraltar, who won five times at Group One level in the colours of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.
Danehill was a stud phenomenon in Australia before he achieved star status in Europe, siring top-class horses from the start of his shuttle career in New South Wales.
He had a season in Japan in 1996, but on his return to Coolmore began to produce results in Europe just as outstanding as those on the other side of the world.
He was even better at stud than on the racetrack, where he won four of his nine races including a Group One victory in the Sprint Cup at Haydock Park. He was also third behind Nashwan in the 2000 Guineas.
