CHILEAN was impressive in winning the Prix La Force. Martyn Meade’s horse travelled well for Oisin Murphy through the early stages of the race just behind the leader My Pleasure.

He picked up nicely to hit the front at the furlong marker, and he kept on well to win by just over a length from the Pascal Bary-trained favourite Study Of Man.

Chilean was the third horse from last season’s Racing Post Trophy to run again. The first was Theobald, who finished 12th of 12 in the Racing Post Trophy and who won a Dundalk two months later, and the second was Seahenge, who finished third behind Mendelssohn in the Listed Patton Stakes at Dundalk last month, and who then finished fifth behind his stable companion again in the UAE Derby at Meydan two weeks ago.

RETURNS

Chilean finished sixth in the Racing Post Trophy. None of the first five home have run yet. Their respective returns are eagerly anticipated.
