One of the meetings of the summer kicks off on Wednesday as York stages it's Ebor meeting across four days.
This year's Juddmonte International looks a cracking renewal and is the feature race on day one as Aidan O'Brien aims to win the 1m2½f contest for a record seventh time.
The master of Ballydoyle has won the race with some brilliant horses in the past, but he believes City Of Troy could be the best he has ever trained and the Derby winner is the one they all have to beat.

The son of Justify overcame a lacklustre run in the 2000 Guineas – for which O’Brien took full responsibility – to take the Derby in style and get his career firmly back on track, although in winning the Eclipse he was more workmanlike.
O’Brien blamed the soft ground at Sandown for what was visually a less than explosive display, but there should be no worries on that score this week and for a horse with a long stride, York’s four-furlong home straight should be ideal.
But with the best three-year-olds and older horses in opposition from all over Europe, as well as a top-class filly in Bluestocking and a Japanese St Leger winner, there will be no hiding place in what is the biggest field assembled since the inception of the race in 1972.
