Perfect Power (7-2 joint favourite) scorched to a fine victory in the Group One Commonwealth Cup on the fourth day of Royal Ascot 2022.
The Richard Fahey-trained three-year-old landed a second successive victory at the Royal meeting, backing up his victory in last year's Norfolk Stakes with a win in the six-furlong Group One under French jockey Christophe Soumillon.
The Ardad colt was dropping back to sprinting, having been seventh behind fellow Royal Ascot winner Coroebus when stepped up to a mile in the QIPCO 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket last month following his win in the seven-furlong Greenham Stakes at Newbury on his seasonal return. But having won Group Ones over six furlongs – the Darley Prix Morny at Deauville and the Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket – last season, he showed the power-packed speed to score again at the top level.
