Key trends
Other factors
Winners who had run in a Guineas finished 112112 at Newmarket and 12211 at the Curragh. The 2021 winner Poetic Flare also ran in the French Guineas (sixth) – the first since Excellent Art in 2007 (fourth).
Four of the last ten winners had run in the British and Irish Guineas, with all making the frame in both.
Without Parole in 2018 and Palace Pier in 2020 (both trained by John Gosden) are the only two winners not to have run in a Group 1 that season since Shavian in 1990.
Aidan O’Brien has won nine runnings since the turn of the millennium.
ROSALLION cemented his reputation as a top miler with a neck victory in this Group 1 event. Richard Hannon’s stable star was a top-level winner at two and had finished second in the 2,000 Guineas and first in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in his two starts at three going into this contest. Sean Levey’s mount ran on well in the closing stages to beat fellow juvenile Group 1 winner Henry Longfellow by a neck. The 2,000 Guineas winner Notable Speech was sent off the 6-4 favourite but failed to fire, beating just one rival home in seventh.
