Native Trail extended his unbeaten run to four races with victory in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.
The two-year-old Godolphin colt had to make a late charge to pass Dubawi Legend, who finished second, and secure an impressive success.
"He's a gorgeous horse, tons of ability," said Native Trail jockey William Buick.
"It was a messy race. It was a race tactically that was hard to get a handle on."
He added: "This horse, whenever I asked him to go, he went. He could be anything, he's a real man, a big horse already, he does it all."
Native Trail's performance also confirmed his status as the winter favourite for the 2,000 Guineas.
In the Cesarewitch Handicap at Newmarket, Buzz - ridden by Oisin Murphy - finished ahead of Burning Victory.
Buzz proved stronger in the final stages to earn a battling win for two-time champion jockey Murphy, who missed his rides at Newmarket on Friday after a breathalyser test showed he had too much alcohol in his system to ride.
