Champion juvenile City Of Troy is part of the initial list of 72 contenders submitted for the Betfred Derby. Trained by Aidan O’Brien, this Justify colt remained undefeated in three races as a two-year-old.

He secured victory in his maiden race, the Superlative Stakes, with an impressive lead of six and a half lengths. Subsequently, he triumphed in the Dewhurst Stakes, winning by a margin of three and a half lengths.

City Of Troy boasts a rating of 125, placing him at the pinnacle as the new season approaches. His stablemate, Henry Longfellow, follows closely on the list with a rating of 119 and is also in contention for the Epsom Classic.

Among the 17 O’Brien-trained horses, Diego Velazquez, the champion of the KPMG Champions Juvenile Stakes, and Los Angeles, the victor of the Criterium de Saint-Cloud, add to the formidable lineup.

City Of Troy is set to make his debut appearance in the Qipco 2000 Guineas, leading the market. 

Additionally, Charlie Appleby’s representation includes Ancient Wisdom, winner of the Futurity Trophy, and Arabian Crown, who clinched victory in the Zetland Stakes.

The entries comprise 46 British contenders, 23 from Ireland, and one each from France, the USA, and Japan.

Mark your calendars—the next entry stage for this prestigious £1.5 million event is scheduled for April 24.
