Formscan - A host of exciting prospects head to post in what looks to be a mouth-watering renewal of Epsom's flagship race, and though City Of Troy disappointed in the 2000 Guineas last month, it would be folly to write the champion juvenile off. Stablemate Los Angeles returned to action with a comfortable success in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown and merits the utmost respect as he bids to extend his unbeaten record. Ancient Wisdom appeared to be crying out for a step up in trip when second in the Dante, while Ambiente Friendly, who took the Lingfield Derby Trial in impressive fashion, is also noted. However, there was lots to like about the way in which BELLUM JUSTUM landed the Blue Riband Trial over 1m2f here in April and with prior track experience in his arsenal, the Sea The Stars colt might offer some value.
