It's also worth remembering, that Camelot is basically a hold up horse with a deadly turn of foot over both a mile and a mile and a half. Frankel generally likes to be much more prominent in his races: So I think a match over 10F would mean Camelot would have to set much more consistently fast fractions throughout the race to stay with Frankel, whereas Frankel if anything might have to slow his down slightly, or even his out over 10F to ensure he'd stay.

This might favour Camelot if he could stick with Frankel in the middle part of the race which is where Frankel so often destroys his opposition.

Thoughts on that, EC1?
