Trainer William Knight enjoyed success with Aussie Reigns and fourth place with Modernstone, his two runners, in the Listed Wild Flower Stakes over a mile and a half on the Polytrack at Kempton Park on Wednesday.
Aussie Reigns, who has improved more than 20lb this year, was held up sixth of the seven runners by Andrea Atzeni.
The 8/1 chance moved up entering the straight and came with a strong run to lead a furlong out.
Aussie Reigns gained a decisive advantage and finished a length ahead of Dick Doughtywylie at the line, with three quarters of a length to the third Banoffee and a half-length to Modernstone. His time was 2m 32.79s for 12 furlongs on Polytrack. The 7/4 market leader Fattsota came home last.
The three-year-old son of Aussie Rules finished third the previous time to the highly-regarded Pethers Moon in the Listed Winners Are Welcome At Betdaq Floodlit Stakes over the same course and distance on November 6.
William Knight commented: "I was really pleased with Aussie Reigns. He seems to have improved as he has stepped up in trip.
"It was a good performance tonight even though it was probably not the strongest of Listed races.
"He has won it quite convincingly. He needs to come through horses as that keeps him interested and Andrea (Atzeni) rides him very well.
"Aussie Reigns has good form on turf as well as the All-Weather. He will hopefully be invited to go to Dubai now because I think he will be suited to the racing out there.
"I would like to get him qualified for the All-Weather Championships Finals Day at Lingfield Park on Good Friday so it is a shame this race was not a Win & You're In contest.
"He would need to have one more run on the All-Weather and we will have to see if we can fit that in."
Lancelot Du Lac, who finished third to Valbchek in the Listed Best Odds At bookmakers.co.uk Golden Rose Stakes at Lingfield Park on November 16 (a Win & You're In race), did the form no harm by winning well.
The three-year-old Shamardal colt, trained by Dean Ivory and carrying second to top-weight of 9st 5lb, was ridden confidently by Jim Crowley, coming from off the pace to lead just inside the final furlong.
The winning margin was three quarters of a length and Lancelot Du Lac took the six-furlong Betdaq 1st UK Race Commission Free Handicap in 1m 11.28s.
