Field of Gold slammed his rivals in the St James's Palace Stakes to establish himself as the best three-year-old miler around.
Irish 2000 Guineas winner Field of Gold was up against 2000 Guineas winner Ruling Court - the colt who had beaten him half a length at Newmarket - and French 2000 Guineas winner Henri Matisse, but he was well on top under Colin Keane.
Field of Gold, the 8/11 favourite, scored by three and a half lengths from a staying-on Henri Matisse, with Ruling Court - running here having been a late non-runner in the Derby - never threatening in a laboured third.
He was a fourth winner of the St James's Palace Stakes for the Gosden stable which first struck in the race in 2014 with Field of Gold's sire, Kingman.
There was plenty of debate following the 2000 Guineas about whether the fast-finishing Field of Gold would have won had he been ridden closer to the pace or asked for his effort sooner, but he gained his revenge in emphatic fashion at Royal Ascot and left little doubt about his status at the head of the division.
Always travelling well, and notably better than Ruling Court who was pushed along turning for home, Field of Gold moved up menacingly at the two-furlong pole and quickly settled matters, shooting well clear of his rivals.
The advantage was reduced slightly inside the final furlong but he was never in any danger and ran out a dominant winner.
