Henry Longfellow gets run down in closing stages of St James’s Palace Stakes by Curragh Guineas hero Rosallion

Willie Mullins saves Irish blushes by winning the finale on day one of Royal Ascot with BelloccioThere were certainly echoes of the ‘Mullins in the bumper’ winter staple as Belloccio made it two wins from two starts for the trainer. He won on his hurdling debut at Punchestown last month and his stamina won out.

Richard Hannon’s star emerged best of a clash between last month’s three major European Guineas heroes, but was put to the pin of his collar to emerge from the pack under jockey Sean Levey and edge out Henry Longfellow by a neck. “I think once I had him out in the open, I always thought I would pick the leader up,” said Levey. “This horse really has to have something to aim at, I think he showed that at the Curragh. As soon as I got him out there was always going to be plenty in the tank.

That might also figure on Henry Longfellow’s radar after he stepped up considerably on a disappointing French Guineas effort.
