The Aidan O’Brien-trained colt routed his rivals in the G2 bet365 Superlative Stakes, having impressed when winning on his debut at The Curragh a fortnight earlier.
A son of Triple Crown hero Justify and out of Fillies' Mile heroine Together Forever, City Of Troy was always prominent throughout the seven-furlong contest and took the lead approaching the final three furlongs.
Jockey Ryan Moore kicked for home early on Aidan O'Brien's charge. However, the further he went, the better he looked as he careered away from his rivals to win by seven lengths in a dazzling display in the G2 event.
City Of Troy is now the 3/1 favourite for next year's 2000 Guineas and he looks to have the world at his feet.
Nick Luck described him as "spellbinding", with Martin Dixon adding he was "exceptional". Aidan O'Brien spoke with Lydia Hislop afterwards.
