City Of Troy came home a long way clear of four stablemates in his highly-anticipated racecourse gallop at Southwell on Friday.

The son of Justify has won six of his seven starts for Aidan O'Brien, who was keen to give his superstar colt a taste of an artificial surface ahead of a tilt at the Breeders' Cup Classic.
