Besharah demonstrated a potent turn of foot to confirm her position as one of the leading juvenile fillies in training with a commanding victory in the Pinsent Masons Lowther Stakes at York.
In what has already been a highly profitable campaign, the William Haggas-trained two-year-old passed her latest test with flying colours, recording a slick success in the Group Two six-furlong event.
With the winner and several of her rivals keen early on, jockey Pat Cosgrave opted to settle the 11-4 shot behind Easton Angel and highly-touted Newmarket maiden winner Lumiere.
While Besharah was one of the first to be nudged along, she responded in the manner of a filly with a touch of class, quickly finding that change in acceleration to close in on the leading pair.
After forcing her way between Lumiere and Easton Angel just outside the furlong pole, the daughter of Kodiac raced into a decisive advantage as she sought to follow up her success in the Group Three Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot.
Lumiere attempted to run on again, but it was to little effect as Besharah galloped all the way to the line to claim a convincing two-and-a-quarter-length success from the Mark Johnston-trained runner-up.
Haggas said: "She hadn't shown at home that she'd been improving like that and the step up to six furlongs certainly helped her.
"She won easily at Ascot but this was a much tougher race, so I'm surprised how easily she's done it.
"Mark Johnston's horse (Lumiere) had only won a maiden, so we didn't know how good she was, but Easton Angel has been a pretty good guide all season.
"We'll have to go for the Cheveley Park now. Hopefully we can keep her in the same form as now as it is some way off, but we managed it with Rosdhu Queen (won both races in 2012)."
A far from despondent Johnston said: "If you'd said to me two months ago she'd be second in the Lowther on just her second start I would have taken that.
"On her debut she never saw another horse, so she lacked experience for a race like this.William (Buick) said she didn't quicken off the ground like she did at Newmarket.
"I'm not downhearted at all. She was staying on again at the finish when she could have dropped away and if we went over further it would probably be at the Breeders' Cup rather than in England.
"John (Ferguson) said to keep one eye on that (Breeders' Cup), it's a different ball game, but something we'll keep an eye on. That's one thing we can keep up our sleeve.
"She's a six-furlong filly at the moment, but in relation to the other horses in the race she is probably the most scopey here and I'd be most surprised if she didn't stay a mile at three."
As for third-placed Easton Angel trainer Michael Dods is contemplating dropping her back down to the minimum trip.
He said: "On first impressions she'll be better off back over five.
"We kept it simple today. She was last off the bridle and while I haven't spoken to Paul (Mulrennan) yet it looked like she was just outstayed."
Tasleet looks set for a step back up to Group company after making his class tell with a staying-on success in the DBS Premier Yearling Stakes.
After finding only Shalaa to good in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood last time out, the 2-1 favourite made it three wins from five starts when flashing home late in the six-furlong event.
Despite having plenty of horses in front of him entering the closing stages, the William Haggas-trained two-year-old motored through the gears to keep Ferryover at bay by half a length.
The victory provided Newmarket handler Haggas with his third straight success in the race and the opening leg of a double on the day after scoring with Besharah in the Pinsent Masons Lowther Stakes.
Haggas said: "I thought he had the best form, although he had a penalty, but you never know about big fields and I was worried about the ground.
"His run in the Richmond was very good and when you buy one at Doncaster (sales) you plan to go for this huge pot. This has been the idea since he showed he could run a bit."
"These races are a great concept and we're delighted to have won the last three runnings of it.
"I was worried about the ground for him, he hasn't won by very far. I don't think he was at his best today. Who knows if he's a Guineas horse? He's tough and might go for the Middle Park next."
Martlet turned in the performance of filly heading in the right direction after routing her rivals in decisive fashion in the EBF & Sir Henry Cecil Galtres Stakes.
Despite never having won on turf, with her previous two victories coming at Chelmsford City, the John Gosden-trained filly changed all that with a facile success in the Listed prize.
Held up close to the rear of the field the 8-1 shot made smooth headway down the home straight in the mile-and-a-half contest before moving into a share of the lead with Koora.
For moment it looked as though the two were going to enjoy a final-furlong tussle, but Martlet quickly drew clear to score by an eased-down two and a quarter lengths.
Gosden said: "She is a grand filly that is very much coming the right way. She had a mid-season break, but she is a big, scopey filly that would be worth keeping in training next year.
"We will freshen her up a little bit and see if there are races towards the back-end. If the ground gets real soft I don't know if that would suit her, but she handled it today.
"We would hope to get into Group Threes and see if we can progress on from there. But she has done it well."
Hughie Morrison was handed a welcome winner after Chil The Kite ground out victory in the Clipper Logistics Handicap.
Although burdened with top weight, the battle-hardened six-year-old gained a first success of the season when gaining a narrow verdict in the mile event.
The 20-1 shot, one of only a few from in behind to come off the early pace set by Kelinni, rallied all the way to the line to edge out Alfred Hutchinson by a head.
Morrison said: "You don't win this sort of race off top weight unless you're pretty good and he is a Group horse, he just loves handicaps as they go a good gallop and he loves going past beaten horses.
"It's great he's won a decent race. From the word go you could see they were going quick enough. The problem was whether he could pick them up off this quite dead ground and obviously he could.
"I didn't come here expecting him to win, so I'm pleasantly surprised.
"He'll go up 3lb or 4lb now and he'll be rated 113 or 114. It would be a huge weight to carry in the Cambridgeshire. We might revert to Group or Listed races or might go up in trip."
Mistrusting showed a tenacious attitude to land the concluding Eventmasters 30 Years Of Hospitality Expertise EBF Stallions Fillies' Handicap.
Entering the race on the back of a victory at Newmarket's July Course achieved just six days ago, the Charlie Appleby-trained 5-2 winner showed no ill effects for the quick turnaround when holding off the late charge of top weight Dusky Queen by a neck.
Winning rider William Buick said: "I didn't want to be too far away, as I think it is hard to make ground up on them on this sort of ground.
"I rode her close to the pace in behind them, but I do think she is more suited to coming a bit later on. She had to show a lot of tenacity today and she did.
"She is a very tough filly and very talented."
