THERE was British success last weekend at Chantilly in the Group 3 Prix des Chenes - Fonds Europeen de l’Elevage over a mile when the Brian Meehan-trained Oceans Four ridden by Christophe Soumillon got home in front by a short neck from Elastic. The winner had been narrowly beaten by a nose when second in the Group 3 Solario Stakes at Sandown to A Bit Of Spirit last time. He was added to the Arc Sale this week.

The six-furlong Group 3 Prix Eclipse - Fonds Europeen de l’Elevage for two-year-olds went to the Aga Khan Studs-owned and bred son of Blue Point in the favourite Samangan, who beat Ceramic by half a length under Mickael Barzalona for Francis-Henri Graffard. He was following up a last-time-out conditions race win at Deauville.
