Falakeyah enjoying a break before autumn return
In the aftermath of Ascot, Goodwood's Nassau Stakes had been mooted as a possible place for the daughter of New Bay to seek redemption, but with her name missing from the entries for that Group One event Burrows revealed she is enjoying some down time at present.
Burrows said: 'She's back at Shadwell having a break at the moment and all being well will be back with me at the beginning of August.
'I wasn't totally 100 per cent happy with her after Ascot, she was possibly too keen and possibly the ground was too quick. We were sort of clutching at straws a bit but thought a bit of a break would do her good.
'Hopefully we'll get her back for a bit of an autumn campaign, we'll see how she is and see what she's telling me.'
One of Burrows' string who could be seen a little sooner is the exciting Gethin, who earned quotes for the Derby after downing subsequent London Gold Cup winner Saddadd at Newbury in the spring.
A setback scuppered any Classic ambitions but his trainer is eyeing an eagerly-awaited return in the coming month.
Burrows continued: 'He's going to start half-speed work again next week and (a return at) the end of August time I've got planned for him all being well.'
Meanwhile, the wait for the weather to change for Champion Stakes hero Anmaat continues, with the Juddmonte International Stakes the next top-level event the Lambourn handler has on his radar.
Burrows said: 'He's in grand form and hopefully by York we get a proper drop of rain.'

Two Tribes tops the charts in Classic battle for International prize
Two Tribes finished top of the charts after a Hollywood ending to the Moet & Chandon International Handicap at Ascot. Richard Spencer's four-year-old had been knocking on the door over this distance this summer and was sent off at 25-1 in the hands of David Egan for this feature handicap on the King George day card. Richard Hannon's Classic briefly looked like following up his Sandown success as the closing stages approached, but Egan was beginning to find top gear from Two Tribes and after the duo went to war in the closing stages it was Two Tribes who pulled out enough to score. He returned a neck verdict over Classic, with his handler thrilled to see him get his head in front with £77,310 on offer to the winner. Spencer said: 'He's been knocking on the door in some nice races and I actually ran him over six furlongs at York as I thought he had plenty of speed. Ryan Moore rode him that day and said to step him up to seven and the races since haven't really panned out how we hoped for him. 'He's not had a draw like this before in a big-field handicap, where they can drag him along. He hit the front today and didn't do a stroke and he goes from hero to zero. Once the petrol gauge is empty you have got to go for him and David has done a great job. 'He's been on the premises meaning to do that, but I'm glad he waited until today as there was a great pot on offer.' Two Tribes holds an entry for next Saturday's Coral Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, but Spencer immediately ruled that out, instead suggesting a trip to York's Ebor meeting is on the cards. Spencer added: 'He's in the Stewards' Cup, but we won't run him and we won't drop him back to six furlongs now, I think we'll just campaign him at seven. 'There's a few races for him and he's one we had on the radar to take abroad over the winter. We've got a team ready to go abroad and this lad loves racing, takes no training. 'We'll just have to see how he comes out of this race, but maybe we could go to York. We'll just play it by ear really.'
