Chachamaidee got back on the winning trail with an authoritative victory over her male counterparts in the bet365 Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

The smooth-travelling mare had collected a Group Three prize at this meeting 12 months ago, but faced a sterner test on her return to the Sussex Downs.

A slow start had cost Sir Henry Cecil's charge a likely victory in the Windsor Forest Stakes at Royal Ascot last month and she was once again last out of the stalls in the hands of Tom Queally.

But the rider did not panic and once he did ask his mount to stretch in the straight, she showed her trademark turn of foot to put the race to bed.

The well-supported 5-4 favourite passed the post with a length and a half in hand over Libranno, who just edged out the gallant 11-year-old Mac Love for second.

It was a second winner of the afternoon for Cecil and Queally following Noble Mission's battling Gordon Stakes triumph.
