Glen's Diamond repelled the late thrust of French raider Top Trip to land a thrilling renewal of the Qipco Yorkshire Cup at York.
Richard Fahey's charge had to settle for second behind Red Cadeaux last year but was allowed to go off a 25-1 chance this time after some indifferent efforts in the interim.
Tony Hamilton was positive from the off aboard the strong-travelling five-year-old and he looked to have all his rivals in trouble turning into the straight.
However, Mickael Barzalona switched Top Trip to challenge up the inner over two furlongs out and Francois Doumen's runner appeared to just edge in front inside the final furlong. But Glen's Diamond dug deep for Hamilton and fought back, with the pair racing neck and neck at the line.
