Three Rocks returned to winning ways in the Keeneland Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh.
Jim Bolger's colt has been without a victory in six starts since scoring at Tipperary in April, but was always travelling kindly in the hands of Kevin Manning.
The four-year-old came to challenge Mad About You for the lead inside the final two furlongs, and stayed on towards the line to beat Georgebernardshaw by a length and a quarter.
Manning said: "I've been giving away a bit of ground at the start in some of his races as he can be a little bit awkward at the gate.
"Today he has jumped well and did everything right - he has won very easily. He's a tough and consistent horse and he handles most ground."
