Royal Dubai relishes extra distance on first start for Owen Burrows
Previously trained by Marco Botti, the five-year-old has been a consistent operator in good company at distances around a mile, but after a switch to Lambourn to join Burrows, he tried a mile and a quarter for the first time since his three-year-old days. 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.'
