HOTAZHELL burnt the fingers of favourite backers by nosing past Delacroix in the William Hill Futurity Trophy at Doncaster.
Aidan O'Brien's runner-up tumbled down to odds of just 1-7 in-running as he took the lead under Ryan Moore.
But the market first choice lugged into his Jessica Harrington-trained rival when the heat was turned up late on.
Under Shane Foley's drive, Hotazell (11-1) refused to be intimidated and battled on to shade a photo finish.
The winner, stepping up from Group Three and Two level, is 25-1 with several bookmakers for next year's 2,000 Guineas.
