Santiago was the comfortable winner over a mile and six furlongs, giving both trainer Aidan O’Brien and jockey Ryan Moore a fourth success of the meeting.
After delivering his challenge entering the final quarter mile, the son of Authorized quickened impressively for a decisive two and three-quarter length victory.
Aidan O’Brien said: “Santiago is a lovely, straightforward horse. He travels and stays well. He is a very easy horse to train and get fit – we are very happy.
“We thought he was going to be an ideal St Leger [Doncaster, September 12] horse. We will give him another run in between.
“Santiago could be a Gold Cup horse next year, so we will keep that in our minds. He is a strong traveller and will get better from three to four. We have plenty of horses in the Derbys – the Irish Derby will come too soon and we will think about Epsom. But I think we will take our time with him this year.”
Ryan Moore said: “He just looked to the rail for a bit of help. I am very happy with what he has done today, he has a good attitude.
“He went through the race very smoothly. The form looks fairly solid, the second horse had run a good race at Lingfield and the third horse he won a Listed race here on King George day and was placed in a couple of Group races in France.
“It wasn’t a big field, but I would say they brought a fair level of form.”
