A promising fifth in a deeper contest at Leopardstown on debut, Tangapour (7/4) got off the mark on start number three in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
The Aga Khan's colt, trained by Johnny Murtagh, made all and was ridden clear over a furlong out to beat slow-starting J M's Joy by four lengths.
Colin Keane was on board the son of Wootton Bassett and dual Group 3 winner Tanaza and commented: "He had a nice run the first day and I think he was a bit disappointing last time but Johnny felt he was coming here in good nick and thought he'd handle the ground. He wanted to keep it straightforward and we did that, so thankfully it worked.
"The ground is soft but is fresh and loose so it's not bad. It's nice to get a bracket beside his name."
