The well-backed Baghdad held on from the fast-finishing Ben Vrackie to land the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot on Friday.
Mark Johnston's horse went off the 7/2 favourite after sustained support and he became the fifth winner of the week for Ryan Moore who held off Frankie Dettori in the finish.
Baghdad was winning at Royal Ascot for the second year running after landing the King George V Stakes last year and the first two home were both sired by Frankel.
Fujaira Prince was third, Corgi fourth and Collide, another son of Frankel, finished fifth.
