Sole seeks to pass trip test

Sole Power bids to cap an amazing season by adding the Betfred Sprint Cup to his impressive record at Haydock today.

The seven-year-old has dominated the five-furlong division this season, mopping up the King’s Stand and the Nunthorpe, but gets a great chance to notch a Group One over six furlongs as his stablemate Slade Power, winner of the Diamond Jubilee and July Cup this season, has been forced to miss the race.

Sole Power has yet to win over six furlongs, although he has run creditably in his few efforts at the trip, notably when second in the Hong Kong Sprint behind Lord Kanaloa in December.
