The Eddie Lynam-trained five-year-old well in the market for the Ascot race where he is set to again tackle Bated Breath.
Sole Power finished a quarter of a length behind Bated Breath in the G2 Temple Stakes at Haydock last week.
Sole Power finished eighth in the King's Stand last year and filled the same position on his other visit to Ascot in the Cornwallis Stakes as a two-year-old but Lynam is hoping for a much better showing this time around.
He said: "He's great, he only lost two kilos. He took the race great.
"He goes for Ascot where he's run poorly twice for different reasons.
"Hopefully he can bring his A game, he's consistent now and then he will go for the Nunthorpe."
Sole Power's last win was in the Temple Stakes last season but he has made the frame five times from nine starts since.
