DAMYSUS hasn't quite been at his best over 1m on his last 2 starts but this trip should suit him better and he can confirm the impression made when an impressive winner of the Earl of Sefton. Dante winner Item can get back on the up having found soft conditions against him in the Derby, whilst last year's winner Royal Champion is also respected back on these shores.

About The Selections
Alex Scott
Damysus I see this step up in trip as a big positive. It is not long since he won three on the spin over nine and ten furlongs, including a hugely impressive performance under a penalty in April.
Andy Stephens
Royal Champion Has a 5lb penalty to carry but can prove equal to the task. He was a superb winner of this race 12 months ago, and has continued to flourish around the world.
