Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has made little secret of the fact that he regards CITY OF TROY as the best 2-y-o he's trained and this clear Timeform top rated can provide the master of Ballydoyle with a record-extending 11th win in the first Classic of the season. Rosallion was also highly promising at 2 and can give the selection most to do ahead of Godolphin's Notable Speech, who didn't make his debut until January but has quickly established himself as a top prospect with 3 AW wins at Kempton.

  1. CITY OF TROY (USA)
  2. ROSALLION (IRE)
