VERDICT: Aidan O'Brien saddled City of Troy to victory in last year's renewal, and he looks to have a leading chance once again with The Lion In Winter. The Sea The Stars colt arrives here with an unblemished record after a convincing success in the Acomb Stakes at York in August and, with score for significant improvement, he can notch a ninth success in the race for his trainer. The form of that race is turning out well with the second and fourth going on to claim Group honours since. The biggest danger is likely to come in the form of Middle Park hero Shadow Of Light, who can offer a bold bid as he attempts to claim a second Group 1 success in 14 days, while fellow Charlie Appleby inmate Ancient Truth isn't easily discounted after bringing up the hat-trick in the Superlative Stakes on the July course here last time out.
