Notable Speech delivered a commanding performance to claim the Boyle Sports Lockinge Stakes at Newbury, giving trainer Charlie Appleby and jockey William Buick a memorable Group One triumph. The 2-1 favorite showcased his class with a two-length victory over More Thunder, displaying the explosive turn of foot that has defined his career.

Appleby praised his stable star's acceleration, noting the horse's ability to quicken when needed most. This victory marks Notable Speech's return to form after an unlucky run at Keeneland, where he finished with placed prize-money. The win represents a significant milestone for the 2000 Guineas hero, who concluded last season with Breeders' Cup Mile glory.

Buick, who has partnered the horse through Classic and Breeders' Cup victories, called the performance 'exceptional' and credited Appleby's team for bringing the horse back in peak condition. The jockey highlighted how the horse's late surge put the quality field to bed decisively.

Appleby confirmed the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot as the next target, stating this Group One win validates Notable Speech as a stallion prospect. The Moulton Paddocks operation continues building momentum after a challenging spell.
