City Of Troy is poised to head straight for the Breeders' Cup Classic following his victory in the Juddmonte International at York.

Aidan O'Brien's all-conquering Justify colt carried all before him as a juvenile and despite an unexpected blip in the 2000 Guineas, he has reasserted himself as his generation's star performer, winning both the Derby and Coral-Eclipse before dazzling on the Knavesmire on Wednesday.
