    Isn’t Unquestionable at least part or mostly owned by Al Shaqab? Certainly runs in their colours. Can’t see them letting the horse be a sacrificial lamb for Henry Longfellow.

    Minding went well on quicker going so good to firm does not bother me to much until Henry shows me otherwise. Really looking forward to this race

    For me, when a horse with both a slightly rounded action and has run four times in its life, all on a softish surface… It means there is a possibility connections believe he’s best with give. Does not mean he will run below form, just that the chance of doing so is increased… So needs to be taken into account by the odds I am willing to take.

    He is, but his past few runs have all been declared alongside River Tiber so I’m pretty sure Coolmore have that role in mind for him generally. Who knows who calls the shots in these partnerships. He was also declared for the Commonwealth Cup over 6f and I think if they were actually trying to win with him he’d go up in trip not down.

    Unquestionable will probably set a strong pace, without making it too strong that hinders his own chance.

    They had to split COT and HL last year so HL may not have had the chance to run on anything but a softer surface. COT was the 2000G horse so naturally HL was aimed at France, which nearly always is on the softer side.

    I think we will see a different HL tomorrow, especially after being undercooked (lack of a prep run) and not getting the best ride in France, still only beat 4l. I can see HL going off 11/4

    HL and Highbury is a great e/w double, 4s the pair currently if not bigger.

    Have always fancied Henry Longfellow for this but the quick conditions are probably ideal for Rosallion. I’m taking on the fav either way.
    If one of the big 3 is to flop, Unquestionable could there abouts also. 7/2 to finish in the first 3 isn’t bad.

    Notable Speech ran a shocker.

    Been saying Notable Speech was a hype horse and not in the league of the other 2 which has been proven today.

    Rosallion is a class horse and got a beautiful slip stream around.
    Could be a different result in different conditions next time but they’re both fantastic animals whatever the outcome.

    Notable Speech is a very good horse, he proved it in the guineas
    but had the going been on the good side when the Greenham was being run, Rosallion gets his prep and wins the Guineas, no one will convince me otherwise
    Delighted for Hannon, hes always been a little behind Senior but this result puts him not far behind

    You’re a fool if you can’t see that Notable Speech has run well below his best there. :negative:
