Notable Speech

Selected at: 7/4

He oozed absolute quality when landing the Lockinge last time, travelling like a dream and showing rapid acceleration that separates him from the field here. Ribchester, Palace Pier and Baaeed are the three Lockinge winners to have followed up in the Queen Anne over the past decade and Notable Speech can do the same.
