Odds-on punters, sickened by the eclipse of Nurpur in the opener, got a little back if they were brave enough to invest again when Alkazim convincingly landed the Follow Naas Racecourse On Facebook Maiden.

Taking a marked dropped in grade and trip, the Irish Guineas 8th, in possession of a 102 official rating, was never far from the pace under Wayne Lordan. When asked to go about his business from a furlong down he stretched on to comfortably beat Regal Power by three and a half lengths.

Lordan sported the silks of Mohammed Kazem Al-Ansari (from Qatar) here, colours carried to victory by David Wachman's charge, Amira's Prince at the Curragh back in March.

Wachman also trains Alkazim and he said: "He'll go back into Group company now. He's always shown loads of pace. Six, seven or a mile is no problem to him.

"He ran quite well in the Guineas. He wouldn't want the ground any slower than that." (GC & EM)
