Racing Post verdict
Third-partyNotable Speech arrives here as a five-time Group 1 winner whose devastating turn of foot when routing this field's principals at Newbury marks him as the one they all have to beat. William Buick's decision to stick with him over his stablemate Opera Ballo speaks volumes, and though his Ascot record has been a minor talking point, he is emphatically better placed now than when fourth here twelve months ago. Opera Ballo is a genuine threat — a top-level winner on both sides of winter who may have held a fitness edge last time out — while the progressive More Thunder could close the gap if produced with more urgency. **Notable Speech** to confirm Newbury superiority.
