Formscan  - Lead Artist was tenacious when he shaded victory over Dancing Gemini in the Lockinge at Newbury and there is very little to choose between these two high-class individuals as they gear up for what promises to be another thrilling encounter. However, ROSALLION's third-placed finish that day was a very encouraging effort. That was his first start since he sealed victory with a lightning burst of speed in the St James's Palace here 12 months ago and he merits the utmost respect once again. Notable Speech, who was fourth in the Lockinge, and the now Australian-trained Carl Spackler add further depth to a splendid curtain raiser.
