The three-year-old, bought by Middleham Park Racing’s Nick Bradley for just 25,000gns last year, flashed by Gordon Lord Byron to give trainer David O’Meara and jockey Danny Tudhope their first Group 1 victories in the Sprint Cup.

He could now go for the Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes – which he needs to be supplemented for – at Ascot on October 18, while the Longines Hong Kong Sprint on December 14 is also a possible.

The 5f Qatar Prix de l’Abbaye has been ruled out with connections keen on keeping G Force over 6f.

Bradley said on Sunday morning: “We’ll stick to six now and miss the Abbaye. There’s a race at Ascot coming up and it’s a Group 2, but I’ve been told we won’t get a penalty.

“Then there’s a race at Sha Tin in December. Adrian Beaumont [from the International Racing Bureau] was on the phone last night and he thinks we’ll get an invite to that.”

Sole Power, who beat G Force into sixth in the Nunthorpe but could manage only fourth in the Sprint Cup, is also bound for Hong Kong.

Bradley, speaking to At The Races, added: “It’d be nice to go out there and if Sole Power goes we can have the rematch.”
