In what might be an ominous portent of what is to come, City Of Troy "should have no problem over a range of distances" this season, according to Aidan O'Brien.
The unbeaten Justify colt enters his Classic year with a sky-high reputation and ranked second only to Johannesburg — a four-time Group 1-winning juvenile — among O'Brien's 13 champion two-year-olds to date with a rating of 125 following the unveiling of the European classifications.
