Aidan O'Brien has won four of the last six renewals of the Dee Stakes including last year when saddling eventual Derby runner-up Cliffs Of Moher in this race. ROSTROPOVICH gives him his best chance this year. The son of Frankel will appreciate the drop in class and should come on for his latest effort in France. My Lord And Master wasn't beaten far in what could prove to be a race to follow at Epsom last time while Finniston Farm has each-way claims after a promising run last time out.
