Henry Cecil's Frankel produced a barely believable performance as he made every yard of the running in the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket under Tom Queally.
An unbeaten juvenile campaign and a ready comeback victory in Newbury's Greenham Stakes led to the son of Galileo being sent off at 1-2 for the season's first Classic.
Rerouted was due to be a pacemaker, but he just could not keep up as Frankel quickly opened up a huge advantage, and after being miles clear at halfway, he passed the post with a stunning six lengths in hand of Dubawi Gold. Native Khan was a further half-length away in third.
