"All going well he will go for the Abbaye if the ground is right, and then on to Hong Kong as Johnny thinks he will be perfect to race over there."
Irish raider Sole Power produced a spectacular burst of speed to win the Scarbrough Stakes...
Slightly uneasy in the market due to concerns that the ground had gone against Edward Lynam's star, Sole Power, sent off at a Betfair SP 3.7, produced a startling turn of foot to register a comfortable success.
Always travelling strongly, it had briefly looked as if Sole Power might struggle to get a run, but once the gap appeared he quickened sharply to beat Jwala with Excelette back in third.
Lynam said: "I don't think anyone could say he didn't deserve that. Anyone who was brave enough to back a Group 1 horse in a Listed race at 11-4 has done very well.
"He came back from York (this year's Nunthorpe) very buzzy for whatever reason. He got too much daylight that day and it didn't do him any good. It's a long time until the Abbaye and Hong Kong, so we wanted to get another run into him.
"He was quite keen today - Johnny said he was going to be very cool on him and he certainly was. The horse has a very good turn of foot and all going well he will go for the Abbaye if the ground is right, and then on to Hong Kong as Johnny thinks he will be perfect to race over there."
