Lynam planning display of July Cup Power

Wednesday 26 June 2013, 11:17am

Eddie Lynam's two star sprinters Sole Power and Slade Power are set to clash in the July Cup at Newmarket.

Proven top-class performer Sole Power secured a well deserved Group One haul in the King's Stand at Royal Ascot, his second victory at the highest level following his shock 100-1 win in the 2010 Nunthorpe at York.

Slade Power, two years younger than his stable companion, made his Group One debut in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes and while he came up short, he was far from disgraced in finishing seventh.

"We were delighted with Sole Power and he seems to have come out of Ascot well," Lynam said.

"We'll see how he is, but we'll probably roll the dice in the July Cup and see how it goes.

"Slade Power could well run in the same race. He ran OK, but he still has to prove himself at the top level.

"He ran like a horse who is rated 109, rather than a horse rated 119, so he has to make that step up.

"But he's come out of the race well, it's a nice gap between Ascot and the July Cup and we'll probably let him take his chance as well."
