The Aidan O'Brien-trained City Of Troy is one of 20 horses left in contention for Saturday's Betfred Derby after Tabletalk was added to the field for the Classic at Monday's confirmation stage.
He could be joined by the unbeaten Los Angeles as well as Diego Velazquez, Euphoric, Illinois and Portland while another Irish contender is the Ballysax Stakes winner Dallas Star for Adrian Murray. Ambiente Friendly has solid claims based on his win at Lingfield while Ancient Wisdom for Charlie Appleby is another strong British challenger.
"All is good, we're happy with him and it looks a very open year. It's quite hard to assess the form lines this year," said representative Alistair Donald.
