Sky Power is SW14 for Stormy River winning Wednesday’s Prix Lyphard (1900m) at Deauville.
Buried away midfield towards the rail by Stephane Pasquier to the home turn, Sky Power was able to find room between horses halfway up the straight and finish best to defeat Winter Reprise (Intello) by a short-neck with Bugle Major (Mizzen Mast) a neck away third in a blanket finish.
It is the fourth win from 14 starts for Sky Power, now guaranteed a start in the feature 10-furlong Easter Classic at Lingfield Park on All-Weather Championships Finals Day on April 2.
Sky Power is a half-sister to My Pupite (Aussie Rules), a winner in France and Italy, their dam Feltzer (Indian Rocket) a sister to Listed Prix Servanne at Chantilly winner Bluster.
The granddam Tell Me Why (Distant Relative) won three times in France and a half-sister to Italian Listed winner Tendor (Kendor) and to Pump Pump Girl (Kendor), the dam of French Listed winner Pump Pump Boy (Kingsalsa).
His fourth dam Tropicaro (Caro) won the Gr1 Prix Marcel Boussac.
