Aside from a heavy defeat in the Derby, DAMYSUS enjoyed a progressive 3-y-o campaign and hopes can be high that he will kick on again this season. He gets the nod ahead of Cambridgeshire hero Boiling Point and the consistent Skukuza. Last year's winner Persica would be a danger to all if on-song but he needs to get back on track following a rather subdued end to 2025.
