Memphis Tennessee and Astrology completed a Chester double for Aidan OBrien and jockey son Joseph.
An 11-length victory for Astrology (11-10) inside the Dee Stakes preceded Memphis Tennessees Ormonde Stakes win.
Memphis Tennessee (evens) held off a stiff challenge from Vivacious Vivienne (10-1), ridden by Jamie Spencer, with Calico Cat (66-1) third.
Michael Owens Brown Panther, which went off 6-5, tailed off to complete fourth of 4 within the Ormonde.
Trainer Aidan OBrien said of the winner: "Were delighted with him. He was a beautiful horse last year, but hes grown up lots.
"Hes a pretty mover and i've absolute confidence hell be better on better ground.
"Hes matured from three to four and he has all of the options as hes not a set One winner.
"It wont be an issue to drop back in trip with him and we'd consider races just like the the Coronation Cup or the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot. Hes open to everything."
Astrology made all of the running over the extended mile-and-a-quarter trip to breeze away from his three rivals within the Group Three Dee Stakes.
Oxford Charley (7-1) was second, Kingsdesire (10-3) third and Uriah Heep fourth.
The wins continued a up to date good run in Britain for the County Tipperary-based OBriens, who also landed Saturdays 2000 Guineas at Newmarket with rising star colt Camelot.
