TOWER Of London gave Aidan O’Brien and the Coolmore partnership another big Middle East victory when running out a comfortable winner of the two-mile Dubai Gold Cup on the turf.

The four-year-old by Galileo – who finished fourth in the Doncaster St Leger last September – won the valuable Red Sea Handicap in Saudi Arabia in February and was sent off the 9/4 favourite here to see off a field of 14 runners. His task was eased when dual St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov was withdrawn at the start after banging his head in the stalls.
