Couldn't have that at all, Trackside.
Firstly, I'm convinced that Astrololgy's role was that of pacemaker, an opinion strengthened by the high confidence in Camelot expressed by Derrick Smith before the race.
Second, Astrology set a good, even pace, then visibly quickened fully 4f from home and maintained that impetus until passed by his stablemate, which hardly suggests he'll be better over shorter.
Thirdly, from a stable which usually has myriad entries for all its better horses, Astrology has just one at 10f, yet 3 at the Derby Distance.
Interpret the sectionals as you will, for mine, the form shows all the first 3 will prove better at 12f (or more) than they will at 10,
