It’s looks worth sticking with PERFECT POWER as Richard Fahey’s colt reversed earlier running at Goodwood with the Richmond Stakes winner Asymmetric when landing the Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville. Christophe Soumillon keeps the winning partnership intact. Armor finished further behind the selection but has since gone close in the Flying Childers when just touched off by Caturra. Dr Zempf arrives from Ireland having finished second in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh with Go Bears Go, Castle Star and Twilight Jet behind. Ballydoyle step dual winner Hms Endeavour up in class but Ryan Moore prefers him to stablemate New York City.
