PERFECT POWER shot to a smooth Greenham Stakes win at Newbury to hand Richard Fahey a Guineas headache.
His first crack at seven furlongs went like clockwork, but the step up to a mile in the 2000 Guineas on April 30 is the big question mark.
Jockey Christophe Soumillon is convinced Perfect Power deserves his place in the 2000 Guineas
However if his jockey Christophe Soumillon has any say in the matter then he’ll be lining up in the big one for which he was trimmed into as short as 8-1 with Paddy Power.
The Belgian ace said: “Every owner would love to have a runner in a race like the Guineas, and the way he won a prep race for it today, you have to try.
“Many horses have been like him and gone on to win at a mile. It depends how the race will be run, but he’s got a chance.
“I was always happy, he jumped out the gate well and travelled very easily. When I took him out he quickened up. His turn of foot is his main weapon.”
