Verdict

KING OF STEEL ran a stunning race in the Derby on his comeback on what was just his third start, taking the lead briefly before caught by Auguste Rodin, the pair of them clear. He could have an even bigger effort in him and will be hard to beat if handling the quick turnaround. Arrest was looked after once his chance had gone at Epsom and remains capable of better, as does Artistic Star, who was doing his best work at the finish there.
