Path coasts home

Coastal Path ran out an easy winner of the Prix Chaudenay at Longchamp, leading home an Andre Fabre-trained one-two-three-four in the Group Two contest.

Given a patient ride by Stephane Pasquier, the unbeaten three-year-old only had to be pushed out to account for his Kieren Fallon-ridden stablemate Noble Prince, who finished well and edged Royal And Regal for second.

Friston Forest was fourth for the Fabre team but Irish raider Mores Wells was a disappointing sixth, having never got competitive at any stage in the mile-and-seven-furlong event.

Teddy Grimthorpe, representing winning owner Khalid Abdullah, said: “He is still immature but four from four is very satisfactory.

“He won’t run again this season and I think he will be an interesting horse for next year, when we might look at mile-and-a-half races as opposed to a Cup campaign.”
