While the track surface at Meydan (Dubai) is obviously not identical to the Saudi surface, Romantic Warrior's action in this clip does not inspire confidence relating to the switch.
He is undoubtedly a top-class horse, and such horse are more likely to overcome difficult obstacles, such as a surface switch, than ordinary horses, but his action in the clip strikes me as that of a turf horse. He appears to be "climbing" a bit, accentuated by his knee action, though to be fair he was not fully extended.
