Sir Michael Stoute only introduces his useful debutantes in conditions events and pitched City of Troy into smart company, which included the G2 Coventry S. second League Champion (Rahy). Slowly away from the gates, the 8-1 chance was reserved towards the rear by Darryll Holland before making smooth progress on the heels of the leading group passing halfway. Full of run when short of room approaching the eighth pole, he was switched inside and inhaled the long-time leader Murfreesboro (GB) (Bahamian Bounty {GB}) in the final stride to win by a cosy head margin. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, £7,047.
