Cinderella’s Dream shone on the Rowley Mile with a neat success in the Betfred Dahlia Stakes.
The bay was one of two Charlie Appleby-trained and Godolphin-owned contenders in the Group Two, and was the chosen ride of William Buick as Ryan Moore partnered Beautiful Love.
As the 11-8 favourite Cinderella’s Dream did not feature prominently in the early stages of the race and had the whole field to pass in the final furlongs, but clearly she was content to bide her time and when asked to go on and win the race, she did so comfortably to prevail by four and a half lengths from Elmalka.
Beautiful Love was a further three-quarters of a length back in third.
