Inisherin produced a dominant display to stamp his class on the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.
Sixth over a mile in the 2000 Guineas, the Shamardal colt successfully dropped back to six furlongs in last month's Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock, prompting connections to supplement him for this Group One contest at a cost of GBP 46,000.
With fellow Sheikh Mohammed Obaid-owned contender Elite Status a significant non-runner, Inisherin was the 9-4 favourite in the hands of Tom Eaves and his supporters will have had few concerns.
Kept out of trouble down the the middle of the track, Kevin Ryan's speedster was travelling much the best entering the final two furlongs and found plenty once asked to extend to score by two and a quarter lengths from Lake Forest.
Paddy Power make Inisherin their 5-2 favourite from 10-1 to double his top-level tally when he meets his elders in the July Cup at Newmarket.
