Gabrial showed a touch of class and the heart for a battle to win the Betway Lincoln at Doncaster.
Richard Fahey's streetwise, but often unpredictable six-year-old was delivered with a precise challenge by Tony Hamilton to take the first major prize of the Flat turf season in Britain at odds of 12-1.
Mondialiste was a determined foe for the David O'Meara team, but once he was subdued, Gabrial was in pole position, eventually winning by a neck. Moohaarib finished third.
Hamilton said: "He needs a strong gallop and he stays well."
