Auguste Rodin (7/4), Rebel's Romance (5/2), Bluestocking (9/2), Luxembourg (11/1), Middle Earth (12/1), Sunway (16/1), Goliath (25/1), Dubai Honour (25/1), Hans Andersen (150/1)
AUGUSTE RODIN fluffed his lines badly in this 12 months ago and his tendency to throw in the odd stinker never makes him one for maximum faith but 6 Group 1 wins show he's high-class when in the mood and he's the one to beat. Bluestocking is an improved filly this year and can give Aidan O'Brien's charge most to do. One who could figure at bigger odds is Middle Earth, who found a steady gallop against him in the Hardwicke and should get a stronger pace to aim at here.
