Aidan O’Brien’s former Derby hero Auguste Rodin and John & Thady Gosden’s Inspiral are two of the star attractions in the list of ten runners for Wednesday’s Prince Of Wales’s Stakes on day two of Royal Ascot. We take a look at those lining up bidding for Group 1 glory on June 19.
A stunning winner of the Derby at Epsom last season, Auguste Rodin then went on to land Irish Derby glory and a fine victory in the Irish Champion Stakes and the Ballydoyle four-year-old is looking to try and add another prestigious prize to his CV.
