There will be no special measures to ensure that City Of Troy, the likely favourite, remains relaxed before the race as he attempts to bounce back from a dismal 2,000 Guineas run in the Derby at Epsom on Saturday, Aidan O’Brien, the colt’s trainer, said at the track on Friday.
O’Brien believes that City Of Troy, last year’s outstanding champion two-year-old colt, became upset in the stalls before the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket in early May, which raised his heart-rate towards its maximum much earlier than required and led to him fading steadily through the field after racing up with the pace to halfway.
