Allied Powers claimed victory for Michael Bell in the Prix d'Hedouville at Longchamp.
The seven-year-old was always in the first three in the Group Three event, but Ioritz Mendizabal was having to ask for an extra effort as the field straightened up for home.
Favourite Solemia looked full of running, but Olivier Peslier found himself caught on the inside of Allied Powers with nowhere to go and though he tried to switch on to the rail, again no gap appeared, and he had to settle for third. Allied Powers edged out Molly Malone at the line.
Bell said: "I'm delighted. He won this race in 2010, so it's nice to see him go back and do it again.

Multiple Group One-winning sprinter Starspangledbanner could be set for a surprise return to training due to fertility problems at stud.
The six-year-old won twice at the highest level in his native Australia and also produced his best in the northern hemisphere after joining Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle, winning the Golden Jubilee Stakes and the July Cup in 2010.
He was retired at the end of that season to join the Coolmore Stud roster and his first crop of foals hit the ground this spring.
