Godolphin's 2024 G1 2000 Guineas hero and multiple elite-level winner Notable Speech (Dubawi) was sent postward as the heavily-supported 2-1 favourite for Saturday's G1 Boyle Sports Lockinge Stakes at Newbury and the TDN Rising Star unleashed an explosive display to outclass nine rivals in the one-mile feature.“It was a great training performance by Charlie [Appleby] and to bring him back in this form is a credit to everyone at home,” beamed William Buick. “It was all falling apart in front of me, but he was explosive and is an absolutely top-class miler.”The G1 Sussex, GI Woodbine Mile and GI Breeders' Cup Mile winner raced under cover in a midfield sixth as Coolmore's rabbit Mississippi River (Lope De Vega) set searching early fractions up front through halfway.Angled into an open lane with a quarter-mile remaining, the five-year-old homebred produced a stunning burst to put the contest to bed in a matter of strides approaching the final furlong and just kept on rolling to overpower last term's G2 Hungerford winner More Thunder (Night Of Thunder) by an impressive two lengths. The remainder were headed by recent G2 Sandown Mile third Zeus Olympios (Night Of Thunder), who finished 3/4-of-a-length adrift of the runner-up. All class!
