Lily's Prince won his fourth race at Dundalk off a career high mark in the Dubai World Cup Live Tomorrow On ATR Handicap.

Denis Linehan 's mount arrived travelling well with his challenge in this six furlong event.

The Strategic Prince had to work for his win in the end, but work he did as he got the better of Chicago School and Strategic Heights by a neck and the same.

Winning trainer Garvan Donnelly said: "He's been very consistent all year so he deserved that.

"He's creeping up the whole time and getting a couple of pounds for finishing second so it's hard for him.

"I'm glad he did win and eventually got it right. Colin rode him the last night but I just thought tonight we'd be better taking the 5lb off him and give him every chance.

"Dropping him back to six helped him as well. We'll keep him going."

The Stewards fined Luke Comer, trainer, €350 for lodging a passport in respect of Caitie in which the vaccinations did not conform with the provisions of Rule 91. The Stewards allowed the horse to run on receipt of the trainer's written assurance that the vaccinations were in order.

R.P. Cleary, rider of Red All Star trained by Gerard Keane, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount hung in the straight.

R.P. Whelan, rider of Guanabara Bay trained by Adrian McGuinness, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount was unable to get a clear run in the straight.
