Monday, Cologne, Germany, post time: 16:40, COOLMORE CITY OF TROY GERMAN 2000 GUINEAS-G2, €125,000, 3yo, c/f, 8fT

Field: Aktivist (Ger) (Victor Ludorum {GB}), Asker (Ger) (Aclaim {Ire}), Lord Clover (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), Lost Signal (Ire) (Lucky Vega {Ire}), Loucas (Ger) (Best Solution {Ire}), Nardos (Ger) (Kodiac {GB}), Shayem (ire) (King Of Change {GB}), Silver Impact (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Simply Best (Ger) (Best Solution {Ire}), Sonic Boom (Ger) (Zelzal {Fr}), Title Role (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}).

TDN Analysis: The international quartet holds all the aces in Germany's first Classic of the year with the Francis Graffard-trained G3 Prix de Guiche second Lord Clover and the race sponsor's G3 Greenham fifth Title Role joined by Forz Europe's dual winner Lost Signal and Listed Silver Tankard winner Shayem, who ran fourth in this month's Listed Dee Stakes last time. The home defence is chiefed by G3 Dr Busch Memorial victor Asker, who defeated Loucas, Sonic Boom and Simply Best in that Krefeld feature, and he is joined by his Henk Grewe stablemates Nardos and Silver Impact.

Monday, Hannover, Germany, post time: 15:50, GROSSER PREIS DER HANNOVERSCHEN VOLKSBANK – PREIS DE NEUEN BULT-Listed, €30,000, 3yo, f, 11fT

Field: Alpenveilchen (Ire) (Zarak {Fr}), Amy Van Lips (Ger) (Rip Van Lips {Ire}), Chista (Fr) (Isfahan {Ger}), Lady Evi (GB) (Masar {Ire}), Quibia (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}).

TDN Analysis: This G1 Preis der Diana trial appears to be at the mercy of G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen third Alpenveilchen, who is the only one of five with a black-type stamp in the book. She is opposed by three-for-four Polish import Lady Evi and the once-raced maidens Amy Van Lips, Chista and Quibia. [Sean Cronin].
