I’m not sure we’ve sent one to the Derby with as much ability – Aidan O’Brien on City Of Troy

Aidan O'Brien's City Of Troy and Los Angeles head a field of 16 for Saturday’s Derby at Epsom.

We have been here before. A regally-bred two-year-old which carried all before him as a juvenile, only to run poorly in the English 2,000 Guineas and then bounce back to win a Classic on its next start.

And that is exactly what Aidan O’Brien will be hoping happens with City Of Troy in tomorrow’s Derby.
