Dramatised justified her tall reputation with a runaway victory in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Karl Burke has made no secret of the regard in which he holds the Showcasing filly, who made a huge impression on her debut at Newmarket in April and had been kept fresh for the Royal meeting since.

Sent off the 5/2 favourite in the hands of Danny Tudhope, who landed the final two races on Tuesday, Dramatised travelled powerfully for much of the five-furlong contest before bursting clear.

Tudhope dropped his whip with over a furlong still to run, but it made little difference as his mount proved much too good for her rivals and passed the post with a length and three-quarters in hand.

Maylandsea finished a clear second, with Maria Branwell pipping American raider Love Reigns to third.

Owned by Steve Parkin’s Clipper Logistics and trained in Middleham by Karl Burke, Dramatised had been a warm order after a brilliant four-length success at Newmarket on debut.

Burke said: “I have probably said too much, but that is what Dramatised has been showing us at home.

“She has a lot of natural speed. She lengthens and she keeps going. I'm sure she'll stay six furlongs, although Danny said to keep her at five furlongs for the moment.

“There's still more to come from her. I think she was just green at Newmarket – I wouldn't blame the dip and, if you look at the last 100 yards, she was jamming on the brakes and still clocked a fast time. She has physically grown over the last two months and is a very good filly. It's job done.

“Dramatised is a Group 1 horse ability wise. She is a bit of a diva, but she looked very good today and handled the preliminaries very well. We've spoken about the Prix Morny and we will consider that. The Lowther at York is right up Steve's [Parkin, owner] alley too.

“I think she will stay six furlongs. We trained her dam [Katie’s Diamond] and she was good enough to be a Guineas filly. She was second in the Marcel Boussac after running away to the start and in the race.
