Charlie Appleby’s Notable Speech is to have his first race over six furlongs in the Al Basti July Cup at Newmarket on Saturday.

Last year’s 2000 Guineas winner impressed connections enough in a gallop over the weekend to earn his place in the premier sprint.

A post on Godolphin’s X account stated that "following a very pleasing piece of work over the weekend, the decision has been made to supplement Notable Speech" for the six-furlong race.

Since he made his debut on the all-weather in January 2024, Notable Speech has been campaign exclusively over a mile, with his career highlight coming on the Rowley Mile last May.

At the time he was still unbeaten and while he has found things tougher since then, he did win the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood.

This season he has been fourth in both the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury and the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot.

Spy Chief, trained by John and Thady Gosden, is a second supplementary entry for the July Cup.
