The royal silks were carried to success for the first time in Salisbury since 2022 when the appropriately named Crown Estate taking the one-mile handicap for King Charles and Queen Camilla, beating five rivals and overcoming himself in the process.
The three-year-old is a potent force when allowed to dominate, and on this occasion Kieran Shoemark led Crown Estate from flag fall to foil the persistent but futile challenge of Leuven Power.
Shoemark said of his wayward trait: "He has always retained ability but things have to go his way. He had cheekpieces on today for the first time, instead of the blinkers which he wore at Newmarket, and he did everything right on his own terms."

It represented the second leg of a treble for the jockey who had first guided the unraced Luther to win the seven-furlong juvenile race.
Instant acceleration was missing but Luther, understandably running green on his racecourse debut, revealed he possesses a real engine when swooping past Wild Clary who was backed as though defeat was out of the question.
With Sean Levey setting pace on the odds-on favourite, Luther was being pushed along at halfway but slowly and surely got the message and cut down the favourite in the last furlong to score cosily.
Shoemark said: "He took his time to get going. This is a demanding track and I didn't have a horse until two out, even one and a half out, and then it was okay. It took a long time to get him organised and balanced. I'm sure he will get further."
Shoemark's third winner came when Lord of Love shrugged off his maiden status with the benefit of first-time cheekpieces.

The feature race of the day saw Caburn overcome a wide draw, quick ground and inexperience for Newmarket trainer Jack Jones who almost lost the 24,000 yearling purchase at the Guineas breeze up sale in May.
Potential buyers were probably put off by the high reserve price and after going through the ring unsold, he persuaded the owners to retain him.
An eminently wise decision as the horse has been showing up well at home for his belated debut after suffering a couple of minor setbacks.
Shoemark added: "Dylan Hogan has been riding him well at home and today he had him in the ideal spot. He travelled up nicely and put the race to bed."
Of the biggest win of his career, Jack Jones reflected: "I'm delighted and obviously a bit surprised."
Caburn will next run in the highly competitive Supersprint at Newbury, the trainer unfazed by the drop of a furlong for the five furlong dash. As a kind gesture, jockeys gave some of their winnings to the Inspire Foundation, the local charity which raises funds to research spinal cord injuries.
