Meade plots another French assault with TechnicianPosted on Tuesday 8th October 2019 @ 17.22

Trainer Martyn Meade says Technician could return ParisLongchamp later this month after his Prix Chaudenay success.

Technician claimed the win in the Group Two event on Saturday, making that his fourth victory of the campaign.

Meade says the Prix Royal-Oak, a Group One race, on October 27 is now a potential target.

"I was really pleased. I think he put up a great performance. It showed he loved the ground and relished the trip as well," said Meade, as reported by Sky Sports.

"I don't think he could have done it any better and the style in which he did it was really good, to mow down the opposition in the way he did.

"He's come out of the race as good as ever - bucking and squealing - so that's always a nice sign.

"My initial reaction after he won was he wouldn't run again, but there is another Group One back at Longchamp. We might consider it because he seems to be in such good form.

"I hate over-running him, but he's not had that many starts overall, so I might consider it. It wasn't in my mind, but the way he's looking at the moment, I'd have to look at it."
