        Verdict

        Derby winner Auguste Rodin’s propensity for throwing in the odd bad run is a worry though he’s beaten King Of Steel on a couple of occasions. The latter subsequently won the Champion Stakes at Newmarket a fortnight ago, a race Mostahdaf missed on account of soft ground. The Gosdens’ colt landed a couple of Group 1 races over 1m2f before that while the ONESTO ran a big race to finish third in the Arc at Longchamp last time. That contest has proven a good trial for this over the years and Fabrice Chappet’s colt was unlucky not to finish closer in last year’s Japan Cup, his only previous start on fast ground. Up To The Mark is the leading Turf horse in the U.S. at the moment having rattled-up a hat-trick of Grade 1 victories and is preferred to last year’s third War Like Goddess.
