Notable Speech was a shock winner as City Of Troy failed to land a blow in the Qipco 2000 Guineas Stakes at Newmarket.
Aidan O'Brien's colt was sent off the 4-6 favourite after an unbeaten juvenile campaign which culminated in an impressive success in the Dewhurst Stakes. However, he looked under pressure early on in the hands of Ryan Moore and faded out of the race entirely, leaving 16-1 chance Notable Speech to take up the lead.
The three-year-old was partnered by Callum Shepherd and started as the outsider of the field at 33-1 for trainer George Scott. He was always near the front end of the race, which turned into a real battle in the closing stages as a clutch of runners were in with a shout. However, Seven Questions picked up the lead in the final strides to see off runner-up Vadream by a head, with a further short head back to the third-placed Beautiful Diamond.
