Hot on the heels of Noble Mission (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) winning the G3 Gordon S., Chachamaidee provided a quickfire pattern-race double for Sir Henry Cecil's Warren Place stable on the eve of the arrival of Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) on the Goodwood Downs. Admirably consistent between seven furlongs and a mile despite a recent tendency to miss the break, the bay was opening her black-type account in the G3 Oak Tree S. over this track and trip 12 months ago before finishing third under a subsequent penalty in the G3 Sceptre S. over seven at Doncaster in early September. Second in the G1 Sun Chariot S. when upped to a mile at Newmarket later that month, she was in the same spot after the G2 Challenge S. back over this trip at that venue in October before returning to annex the G3 Chartwell Fillies' S. on the Lingfield Polytrack May 12. On that occasion, the mare--one of the first to sport the increasingly popular hoods--was held up before delivering a potent late kick, but that was not enough at Royal Ascot after she blew the start before finishing second in the one-mile G2 Windsor Forest S. June 20. In last early here after another tardy break, she was patiently ridden by a confident Tom Queally and when swooped on the lead when asked approaching the furlong pole en route to an easy success. "They went a lovely gallop, and it suited me from where I was," her rider commented. "She quickened up nicely and has a great turn of foot. Fillies have a bad enough record in this race, so it's great."
