Notable Speech eyes Prix Jacques Le Marois glory

Notable Speech hopes to secure a third Gl success in the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville in France on Sunday in a race that could again prove pivotal in deciding Europe's top miler.

Champions Kingman, Ribchester, Alpha Centauri, Palace Pier and Charyn have all triumphed over Deauville's straight course in recent years. This season's mile division looks particularly open, with Field Of Gold the only horse to win more than one Gl over the distance in Europe in 2025.

Notable Speech returns to a mile following a first career appearance over six furlongs in last month's Gl July Cup, in which he travelled strongly into contention before keeping on to finish fifth.

The Dubawi colt was fourth on his two previous appearances this year, showing signs of freshness on his seasonal return in Newbury's Gl Lockinge Stakes before another creditable effort in the Gl Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.
