Chosen Shant recorded her third win at Wexford when taking the 0-100 handicap chase in the hands of J.J. Slevin.

The 9/1 chance raced close to the pace throughout the two-mile contest and went on after the second-last to beat L'amiral Fromentin by three and three-quarter lengths.

Twice a winner over hurdles at this venue last summer, the 10-year-old carries the colours of winning trainer Aengus King who said "She is what she is at this level and she loves it around her. If she won another one for us, we'd be over the moon. I only got a gift of her. I'm gifting her back in January and the owner is going breeding from her.

"She nearly got black type in Clonmel last year, just missed out by one position. A lovely mare, very easy to do anything with. Always just runs genuine."
