Total Gallery answered Johnny Murtagh's every call when running out a narrow winner of the valuable totesport.com Stakes (Heritage Handicap) at Newmarket.
Stan Moore's colt was being turned out again quickly, having finished down the field at Sandown last Saturday, and came through to mount a serious challenge inside the final furlong.
Desert Icon emerged as a serious threat in the final strides, but Total Gallery kept up the gallop to score by a neck.
Moore said: "That was excellent. He ran on Saturday in a Group Three at Sandown, but he just didn't get a run. We thought if that didn't take too much out of him, he would run a big race.
"At the end of the season the Prix de l'Abbaye would be his aim, but another of these races wouldn't go amiss."
The 66-1 shot Greenisland stayed on strongly under Robert Havlin to win the EBF Hotel Chocolat Fillies' Handicap after favourite Balaagha lost several lengths at the start and dead-heated for second, three-quarters of a length away.
Trainer Hughie Morrison said: "That was a ridiculous price. She was third in a pretty hot Listed race in Germany when she wasn't fully wound up. It was the first time she'd had her ground in this country this year. She's blind in one eye and is very game."
Blizzard Blues (25-1) made a winning debut in the TurfTV Maiden Stakes, leading home the better-fancied Manifest (11-2) to give Henry Cecil a 1-2.
The blinkered winner was slowly away and cruised up on the bridle under Jamie Spencer, but hung badly across the track before winning by three-quarters of a length as his stable companion finished fast.
Cecil said: "I didn't expect that. The winner is very babyish and I'd have been happy if he'd finished in the first half. I thought the other one would finish a lot further ahead - he wants a mile and a half."
