Opening event of the Royal Ascot carnival sees the first four home from the G1 Lockinge Stakes re-oppose. ROSALLION (10) shaped as though he would take a sizeable step forward for the run when third that day. The winner of the G1 St James's Palace Stakes last year was returning from a year off at Newbury and can reverse form with conditions to suit. DANCING GEMINI (3) lost nothing in defeat when runner-up to LEAD ARTIST (7) with the former looking a touch unlucky being blocked and could prove the biggest threat while the latter will enjoy quick conditions and commands respect under Colin Keane. NOTABLE SPEECH (8) managed to win the G1 2000 Guineas. Provided his first outing in seven months when fourth attempting the G1 Lockinge Stakes and warrants respect racing for a top yard.
