It is a GREAT field. The one with the most heart will win.

Heart's Cry is the only horse to have beaten Deep Impact, yet he wasn't able to match an under-revved Hurricane Run (Fabre never has his horses at their peak in mid-summer, saving them for the bigger targets later on, and its only because he is Coolmore ownder, that he was obliged to run Hurricane in the KG). And given that he has never run on ground even approaching as soft as he will encounter on Sunday, why anyone would think of backing him at 3/1 is just beyond me!
