Formscan - As ever, this much anticipated battle of the ages serves up a mouth-watering clash, with dual Derby winner AUGUSTE RODIN the one to be on. The son of Deep Impact showed tenacity when he wore down the gallant King Of Steel in a thriller at Epsom and he is taken to uphold that form having shown deeper resolve when taking the Irish equivalent last time out. The older brigade is strongly represented, with Hukum rated as a serious threat after his Brigadier Gerard success on his return. Last year's winner Pyledriver and Coronation Cup heroine Emily Upjohn complete the shortlist.
