A POTENTIAL Aidan O'Brien-trained star labelled 'the most exciting Dewhurst horse since Frankel' is set for his big return on Saturday. <\/p>\n

City Of Troy is perhaps the most exciting two-year-old in training and could cement his reputation in the Newmarket Group 1 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A son of US Triple Crown winner Justify, City Of Troy bolted up on debut at the Curragh in July. <\/p>\n

He left a lasting impression and as a result, he was sent off at just 4-6 for his next start in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket. <\/p>\n

Cruising through the race under Ryan Moore, City Of Troy led at the two-furlong pole and sauntered away to score by over six lengths. <\/p>\n

The second came out and franked the form at Glorious Goodwood, winning a Group 2 there in comfortable fashion. <\/p>\n

Could this horse be the best we've seen since Frankel? One respected racing commentator suggested he was "the most exciting Dewhurst horse since Frankel". <\/p>\n

Punters were left starstruck after his Superlative performance and he looks set to be a Classic colt next year. <\/p>\n

He'll need to pass his test in Saturday's Dewhurst with flying colours if he's to do so, but it's a race O'Brien has farmed with his best horses. <\/p>\n

He's one win away from equalling the leading trainer record of eight, winning it most recently with St Mark's Basilica in 2020. <\/p>\n

City Of Troy is a general 8-15 to give O'Brien another victory in the Dewhurst, but if you think he'll win a Classic next year, you'll want to hurry. <\/p>\n

He's 5-2 for next year's 2,000 Guineas and 4-1 for the Derby, and those odds will crash if he bolts up on the weekend.<\/p>\n
