I&#8217;m with <strong>Lead Artist<\/strong> and I&#8217;m not sure I agree with this market. There is too much emphasis on him having the run last time in the Lockinge. We shouldn&#8217;t forget that was a career best from him that day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s an unbelievable pedigree and has a great physique. He carries plenty of condition and thrives on his racing. What&#8217;s to say he can&#8217;t step forward again at a track that should suit him even more than last time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Host Kate Tracey&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m hoping that favourite backers will get off to a flyer with <strong>Rosallion<\/strong>. I hope he takes a step forward from the Lockinge where he wasn&#8217;t beaten that far in the end. He shaped as if that was needed and the way he travelled was the key part before him tying up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s the winner of the St James&#8217;s Palace last season at Royal Ascot where he beat Notable Speech who lines up again here today. If he replicates all that ability from last year, he&#8217;s the one to beat today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BetVictor&#8217;s Sam Boswell&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This looks a brilliant renewal if all the runners line up. I&#8217;m going to put my faith in <strong>Rosallion <\/strong>taking that step forward from the Lockinge. I&#8217;d love to have a few more comments from connections that he would have needed it last time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a great horse on what he achieved last season and I&#8217;m sure he will step forward. Quicker the ground the better for him and Good To Firm shouldn&#8217;t bother him like others in here. I think he&#8217;s the right favourite and would like to see the market confidence solidify.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch Weekend Winners on the At The Races YouTube channel&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Tracey, Sam Boswell and Declan Rix return in search of the Group One Queen Anne, as Royal&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":181583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4107],"tags":[1071,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-181582","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-racing","8":"tag-racing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/181583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
