William Buick completed a double with a canny ride on Aiken for trainer John Gosden in the Grand Prix De Chantilly.
Buick dictated affairs from the start and though Maxios looked like going past George Strawbridge's four-year-old inside the final furlong, Aiken found more to pull away again in the closing stages.
Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden stayed on to snatch third place without ever threatening the first two.
Dance Moves was fourth, with the Michael Bell-trained Allied Powers last of the five runners.
