Visualisation led his rivals a merry dance in the Edmund & Josie Whelan Memorial Listowel Stakes.
Winner of the valuable Habitat Handicap at the Curragh earlier in the summer before claiming a second place at Royal Ascot, Joseph O'Brien’s charge was last seen finishing down the field in the Group Three Royal Whip Stakes.
Dropping down to Listed class in the feature event on day three of the Harvest Festival, Visualisation was a well supported 7-2 chance and ultimately won with plenty in hand.
Drawn widest of all in stall 11, the three-year-old was rousted away from the stalls by Declan McDonogh, enabling him to move across the field and grab the lead.
The chasing pack attempted to close the gap from the home turn, but Visualisation never looked in any real danger of being caught and passed the post with two and a half lengths in hand over Geometrical, with Casanova close up in third.
O’Brien’s assistant, Brendan Powell, said: "Declan was brilliant on him. He got him out from the gates and to the front and he has dictated lovely the whole way. He has given him a breather on the bend and then kicked.
"I think he is improving all the time and obviously the softer the ground, the better. He stays well, is very genuine and has won that well in the end.
"That’s his best win and the best he has been. Where Joseph will go now I don’t know, but he’ll stay further."
