Power just Perfect in Commonwealth Cup

Group One glory for Richard Fahey’s charge at Royal Ascot.

Perfect Power finished with a flourish to claim top honours in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.

A dual Group One winner over six furlongs last term, Richard Fahey’s stable star won the Greenham over seven on his reappearance, which prompted connections to have a crack at the 2000 Guineas.

Having seemingly had his stamina limitations exposed on the Rowley Mile, the Ardad colt reverted to six furlongs in Berkshire and galloped home on the far side of the track under a power-packed ride from Christophe Soumillon to oblige as a 7-2 joint-favourite.

Flaming Rib and Flotus finished second and third respectively.
