   Al Kazeem showed his liking for easy conditions when breaking his maiden at Newbury in October 2010, and was sent back there on his first two starts at three. Second in a 10-furlong conditions event in April before taking a handicap over that trip on a lively surface, he went to York for the G2 Great Voltigeur S. at an Ebor meeting run on unseasonably testing ground in August. Meeting a clear superior there in Sea Moon (GB) (Beat Hollow {GB}), he was eight-lengths second to Juddmonte's talented colt before again running second on his final outings in the G3 Arc Trial and G3 St Simon S. back at Newbury in the autumn. If those efforts seemed to suggest he was just shy of top-class, the homebred bay remained lightly raced entering this test and therefore still relatively unexposed. Not without his supporters on his favored rain-softened ground, he broke well and showed prominently early before being restrained to race in rear. Making a bold mid-race move traveling strongly in the hands of James Doyle, he rolled by Quest For Peace passing the quarter pole and quickly asserted. Despite drifting markedly left traveling downhill, he kept powering clear of that rival and the penalised G1 Melbourne Cup and G1 Hong Kong Vase winner Dunaden, who had over-raced early before plugging on into a respectable third.
