Rosallion led home stablemate Haatem to give Richard Hannon a Classic one-two in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh.
The colts were second and third respectively in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket in early May, with Charlie Appleby's Notable Speech something of a shock winner.
Sean Levey took the ride on Rosallion, the 10-11 favourite, but in the closing stages Haatem looked to be cruising home under Jamie Spencer.
A swift turn of foot from the favourite changed the complexion of the race in the final strides, however, and it was Rosallion who was victorious by a head.
River Tiber took third, beaten a further length and a quarter.
