VERDICT: One of the best two-year-olds we have seen this century with a rating of 125, City Of Troy is a clear standout as his master trainer bids to land this contest for an 11th time. The form of both his runaway wins in the Superlative and Dewhurst here are working out well, and a mile is likely to be his absolute minimum trip this campaign, being a son of Triple Crown winner Justify and out of a Galileo mare. Trainer Richard Hannon seems to hold Rosallion in the highest regard and he looked top class when scoring from a subsequent Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere last autumn. Unbeaten and a taking winner of the Royal Lodge over C&D, Ghostwriter should be coming home strongly at the finish, while Task Force is bred for the job with both his parents Classic winners on the Rowley Mile. Alyanaabi and Notable Speech are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
