Donnacha O'Brien notched a treble on the day at Navan when Arthurian Fame justified his short price in the ten furlong maiden.
The Camelot colt, trained by the rider's brother Joseph, went to post a 4/11 shot and duly landed the odds.
He bounced out in front and kept on nicely when asked for an effort in the closing stages to post a two-and-a-quarter length success over Laajidaal
Arthurian Fame, who holds an entry in the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Ascot, finished second on both his previous outings.
“He had the rating and as long as Declan's filly hadn't stepped up a massive amount I thought I'd win,” said the winning rider.
“I got it easy in front and it's nice to get a win into him. He quickens up nicely and he's uncomplicated. Hopefully he'll progress from that run.”
