Interesting stuff, DO, and I'd agree we don't know how good Camelot is just yet, but I'd take issue with the race being "moderately run". The RP analyst saw it as a "solid pace", Nick Mordin has it "strongly run", and Simon Rowlands accords it the 3rd best time figure since the 1980's.
For mine, Astrologist set an even pace until Tattenham Corner, then quickened up to fend off Thought Worthy - far enough out to make the race a true test.
Fwiw, I thought Camelot's pilot panicked a little at that stage, causing the horse to become unbalanced; otherwise he might have won a little more impressively.
