Highclere's Chic Colombine sealed a four-timer, including three wins this month, in the £100,000 British EBF 2yo fillies' series final.

The George Boughey-trained juvenile backed up recent victories at Haydock and Doncaster St Leger's meeting, travelling smoothly into contention under William Buick before battling well to deny the game runner-up Lexington Belle by three-quarters of a length.

Her winning run began in a maiden at Newcastle at the end of June and a step up in class now beckons.

Boughey said: "This race had been the plan for a while for her and it's a nice prize to win.

"She proved at Doncaster she handles soft ground but I don't think she necessarily wants it. She's on the up, showed a great attitude there and has gone from strength to strength since her maiden win. She'll be suited by a mile and I imagine she'll be running in a stakes race before long."

Listed win

My Prospero was halved in price to 10-1 (from 20) by Paddy Power for the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot on October 21 – a race he finished third to Bay Bridge in last year – after gaining his first win of the season in the Listed Foundation Stakes for William Haggas, Tom Marquand and the Tsui family. Connections celebrated a double when Royal Mila landed the 1m6f fillies' handicap.
