Newbury Race 3 - Boyle Sports Lockinge Stakes (Group 1) (Str)

NOTABLE SPEECH (7) rates on top, having won the Del Mar mile last November and resuming with a close 4th over 1609m at Keeneland. DAMYSUS (2) is the main danger after a dominant 3.75L Group 3 win over 1810m at Newmarket last month. THE LION IN WINTER (9) brings strong mile credentials, scoring a Listed 1609m at Leopardstown and previously 2nd to Cicero’s Gift (1) at Ascot over 1609m, with that rival a proven miler who won the same race. ZEUS OLYMPIOS (10) is progressive and was 3rd in the Sandown 1609m Group 2 first‑up after last year’s Group 2 mile win at Newmarket. JONQUIL (4) comes in off a Listed 1609m win at Ascot and is a Newbury winner, adding depth to the leading hopes.
