Ascot Race 4 - St James's Palace Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Rnd)
Three Classic winners line up. NOTABLE SPEECH (6) arrives unbeaten. Posted an impressive fourth success taking the 1600m G1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket by 1.5L. Ticks plenty of boxes and is the one to beat. The Irish Guineas winning ROSALLION (7) finished second that day before boosting form with a narrow victory at the Curragh in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas 24. This previous course winner rates a main danger. French runner DARLINGHURST (3) found success over 1800m contesting the G3 Prix de Guiche at Chantilly (France). Seeks a five-timer. Holds every chance. HENRY LONGFELLOW (4) and METROPOLITAN (5) have both won at G1 level and warrant a second look.

Third-up today. Resuming won by 1.3 len at Great Yarmouth April 30 over 1600m defeating English Harbour carrying 58kg at $3.50. Second run from a spell scored a big 4 len win at Sandown Park LR The Heron Stakes May 23 over 1600m in soft going defeating Kikkuli with 58kg at $8. Doesn't rate well enough.
