Formscan - Derby hero CITY OF TROY is likely to prove a very warm order for this contest, as that form has already been franked with his stablemate, Los Angeles (third), taking the Irish Derby last week. Aidan O'Brien's colt has his first attempt at this trip, but he showed plenty of pace as a juvenile, so that is unlikely to catch him out. Ghostwriter looks the main danger after he finished in front of the selection in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and he backed that up with a respectable fourth in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly. Dancing Gemini may improve for this drop back in trip and he completes the shortlist.

Quotes on Al Riffa (FR)
It was a special performance. He won his maiden well and the owners were keen to supplement him for this. It was a very impressive performance to come from the back of the field like that. He was a big shell of a horse as a yearling and I thought he'd make a lovely three-year-old, I didn't for a minute think he'd make the two-year-old that he has made. He was a big, good moving horse and a horse that was going to mature well. His family is all stamina and for him to be doing what he's doing at this stage is very positive for the future. We always thought he was a middle distance horse, and he's closely related to an Ascot Gold Cup winner so that's real stamina, but he's not slow and didn't look anyway slow today. I'd imagine he's a Guineas horse for sure and we'll take it from there. He's a classy horse and very exciting. The plan coming here was to go on to the race on Arc day but we'll see how he comes out of it today and discuss it with the owners. We thought if we ran in the first three it would be a really good run and that would set him up lovely for the race in France. That's what we were hoping and to see him come on the bridle down to the two today was quite special.After Al Riffa (FR) finished 1st at Curragh on Sun, 11th Sep 2022 7f Flat Yielding

Quotes on Hans Andersen (GB)
We're delighted with him, he had a lovely run the first day and he learned plenty,. He won well. He was a little bit green turning in in Tipperary and came forward lovely. He should have no problem stepping into stakes company now. He should have no problem going further but there is no rush to step him up. He could come back here for the Futurity or something like that.After Hans Andersen (GB) finished 1st at Curragh on Sat, 16th Jul 2022 7f Flat Maiden Good

Quotes on City Of Troy (USA)
Ryan was delighted with him. He said he was very frightened going past the winning post, he said it's the first time he's ever ridden a two-year-old that he thought wasn't going to pull up. He said going to the winning post he just started to get longer and longer in his stride and galloped down to the boards. He gave him a lovely ride. He has a big long stride and he's relentless really, I'm delighted with him. He has great presence. We had his brother last year, Bertinelli, and he was a very big horse who we thought was going to be a three or four-year-old, but this horse is made like a two or three-year-old. Dean (Gallagher) has done a great job with him at home. He's strong and powerful and he does a great job keeping him relaxed. He's a medium-sized horse with a giant stride. He's very unusual, his stride is kind of twice the length of his body. When he started to extend inside the furlong marker, his stride is getting longer and longer - that's very rare. That's what Justify had as well, his stride was so long and it made him very different. That's what they (his progeny) have as well and that's why the big ones take a bit of time. They are very good movers and Justify had speed as well as stamina. He's matching great with the European mares. Ryan said you can go anywhere you want with him and go as far as you want. Obviously we have other horses to consider, but he'll go into one of those seven-furlong races next and it depends on how far the lads want to go with him, After City Of Troy (USA) finished 1st at Curragh on Sat, 1st Jul 2023 7f Flat Maiden Good
