Newbury Race 3 - Boyle Sports Lockinge Stakes (Group 1) (Str)

DAMYSUS (2) was hugely impressive in the G3 Earl Of Sefton Stakes making his comeback. The star prospect for Wathnan Racing looks well up to G1 level. This is the first outing for the four-year-old attempting this journey showing plenty of speed last time. He must have a leading chance. ZEUS OLYMPIOS (10) shaped well on his comeback. That was a first defeat for this Karl Burke top talent while impressed last year in the G2 Joel Stakes. Must be a key player. NOTABLE SPEECH (7) was fourth here last season. Fit from a good run in the US and is a contender. THE LION IN WINTER (9) has cheekpieces added. Won nicely in his warm-up and enters calculations.
