Race Tip

It could be worth chancing DAMYSUS (2) for a return to winning ways. Contested top level G1 races last twice and while not disgraced he has seemed more at home of late attempting this sort of journey. Can take the next step up. ITEM (5) certainly looked to be going places when a handsome winner of the Dante Stakes here in May. Derby wash-out can be forgiven since and worth giving another chance in receipt of weight on these terms. The 2025 Dante hero PRIDE OF ARRAS is two from two at the track. Unable to get competitive in France on recent reappearance. Cannot be overlooked back here with that run behind him. Winning this last year ROYAL CHAMPION (1) is penalised for his G1 success in Bahrain during February. This renewal looks a shade tougher.
