Royal Dubai relishes extra distance on first start for Owen Burrows
The 10-1 outsider of five in the hands of Callum Rodriguez, he relished conditions to see off Brian Meehan's 5-2 chance Rashabar for Listed honours, teeing up further action at this trip.
Burrows said: 'I'm very fortunate to get him, he's been with us a month and came in great shape from Marco's.
'The owner sportingly left it to me and I just felt at a mile he was looking exposed and with his pedigree it might be worth trying him over a little bit further again.
'He had a fair bit to find at the ratings and we were hoping for a drop more rain, but it was really pleasing and I'm still learning about him to be honest.
'He's a Listed winner now and we'll have to look at the programme book, but there's the Rose of Lancaster (at Haydock) on August 9 which we could have a look at and this is just a great start.'

Princess Child wears the crown at Galway
The consistent four-year-old filly had finished second in a Listed event at the track on Thursday but was able to land her first win since racing in France as a juvenile. Since joining Joseph O'Brien she was more than paid her way, finishing second in four Listed races. However, this was the first time her handler had run her in a handicap since her first start for new connections in June 2024 and she was sent off 5-1 to gain a first win in Ireland. Gleneagle Bay made a bold bid for home but Dylan Browne McMonagle brought Princess Child with a powerful run and she went on to win by a length and a quarter with Colm Quinn Mile winner Dunum back in third. 'She had a good run here the last day. She was very unlucky and just didn't get the rub of the green until the straight,' said the winning rider. 'She's had a couple of days to freshen up again and was bouncing around the parade ring and felt great going to post. 'The pace was good and even for me to aim at, and she quickened up good to win well. She seemed to get through the ground well. 'You need plenty of luck when you are drawn in there (stall six) but I definitely had a willing partner. 'She's a very consistent filly and seems to grow a leg on this ground. She likes it around here and always runs a good race here. Hopefully she can progress into stakes company again and get her head in front.'
