ROYAL Ascot is always eagerly anticipated, and this year is no exception. It is a showcase for our sport providing top class action throughout. This year, the first day provides us with a superb renewal of the St James’s Palace Stakes featuring a clash between Notable Speech and Rosallion who are the best three-year-old milers we have seen this season.

An exploration of the Race iQ data that these two horses have produced in their careers so far gives us some insight into how they may perform on Tuesday.
