Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona had been pushing for a replacement competition to the Uefa Champions League

On top of a desperately poor run in the Guineas, the uneasy favourite for today’s Epsom Derby – City of Troy, last year’s champion two-year-old – will have to overcome the ‘coffin box’ draw of stall one. Only Adayar (2021) and Oath (1999) have won from that stall since starting stalls were introduced in 1967.
