Castles In The Air took a huge prize back to the unstoppable Malton stable of Richard Fahey in the £75,000 Victoria Racing Club International Stakes at Ascot.
Title-chasing Paul Hanagan is Fahey's usual rider but he was at York, leaving Richard Hughes to snap up the mount on the 14-1 shot, who had hinted at a return to form when third to Genki in a conditions race at Haydock last time.
Hughes had ground to make up at the furlong pole, but Castles In The Air finished like a train and was half a length in front of Noble Citizen by the post.
