Lynam talks of his stable stars Eddie Lynam's two star sprinters Sole Power and Slade Power are set to clash in the Darley 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 a week ago, 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. Lynam said: "We were delighted with Sole Power and he seems to have come out of Ascot well. 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." Lynam's third runner at the Royal meeting was the talented filly Viztoria, who travelled powerfully in the Coronation Stakes before weakening into sixth. The County Meath handler is looking forward to coming back in distance with his three-year-old on her next start and believes she too could end up joining the sprinting ranks in due course. "I think a mile is probably stretching her a bit and she'd also prefer a bit of ease in the ground," said Lynam. "I couldn't have been happier with how she travelled into the straight and Johnny (Murtagh) was very sweet on her when he got off. "I think there's a big day in her and I think she'll probably go for the Minstrel Stakes over seven furlongs on Oaks weekend (July 20) at the Curragh next. "I wouldn't rule out her going sprinting at some stage. She is in the July Cup like the other two, but she is only a three-year-old and I think it would be asking a lot to send her back over to England for her next start." Asked whether all three horses could end up in the same race somewhere down the line, Lynam said: "You never know. We'd prefer to keep them apart, but I suppose they could all meet. "They'll certainly be getting entries in the same sort of races. "With the three that ran at Ascot and Balmont Mast, who is on a break at the moment, I think we have four very nice horses."
