Formscan - Six-time Group 1 winner Inspiral took the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf over this trip and she now has another crack at it after her below-par fourth in the Lockinge at Newbury last month. The daughter of Frankel boasts leading credentials, but Kieran Shoemark will have to navigate a path from a tricky draw in stall 10. With that in mind, the vote goes to AUGUSTE RODIN. Aidan O'Brien's colt had a good prep run for this contest when filling the runner-up spot in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh last time and he took the Irish Champion Stakes over this distance in September last year. The 2023 dual Derby hero has proven his versatility in regards to distance at the top level and he could prove very hard to beat. Royal Rhyme took the Brigadier Gerard in preparation for a tilt at this prestigious prize and he may run better than his odds suggest.

Quotes on Auguste Rodin (IRE)
Aidan has done everything and he has done it probably five, six or seven times. He (Auguste Rodin) has obviously had an up and down year but, when he has turned up, he has been very good. He's just the most beautiful-moving horse and he was in a real good place today. The reality is probably going from a Derby to an Irish Derby and then a King George, not many horses can do it. Maybe he wasn't in the right place that day (in the King George), but he has beaten a real good lineup here. I'm delighted, I'm really happy. He has proved today that he is a very good horse beating the older ones. He has just always shown so much right from the start. I'm just delighted that everyone at Ballydoyle was able to get him back and show him at his best today. Nice ground is important to him and he just floated around here, he's a beautifully balanced horse. He just did everything perfectly. To come back and do it again, there is a lot of satisfaction in that. I have to thank Michael (Tabor) for having the confidence in everybody to relax and calm down and come back. Ryan gave him an incredible ride. We're so grateful to so many of the team that made it happen. He was always a brilliant horse, all the way along, from the first day he worked. He travels like a dream and has an awful lot of natural speed. He's a little bit lazy when he gets there. A couple of times this year it just all went totally wrong. All the ducks went against him, you usually want them all to go with you, but it all wen

Quotes on Hans Andersen (GB)
We're delighted with him, he had a lovely run the first day and he learned plenty,. He won well. He was a little bit green turning in in Tipperary and came forward lovely. He should have no problem stepping into stakes company now. He should have no problem going further but there is no rush to step him up. He could come back here for the Futurity or something like that.
