Going - Good to Firm. 
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - City Of Troy has been sent off favourite for each of his six career starts and has only had his colours lowered once, when flopping in the 2000 Guineas. The son of Justify bounced back in no uncertain terms when beating Ambiente Friendly in the Derby and followed that up with success in the Eclipse. However, his price once again reflects his chance, so he is taken on with ZARAKEM. The French raider outran big odds to produce a career-best effort when filling the runner-up spot behind Auguste Rodin in the Prince Of Wales's at Royal Ascot, with Alflaila (fourth) and Royal Rhyme (fifth) behind. He proved he is versatile with regards to ground on that occasion and could gain his first success at the top level. Impressive King Edward VII winner Calandagan and gallant King George runner-up Bluestocking are others to note.
