Richard Hannon has made his customary good start to the season and he can build on his strike-rate here if Psychiatrist can fulfil expectations held for him today. The son of Dr Devious narrowly holds the likes of Gold History and New Mexican from last season and is fully expected to confirm the form now that he has proved that he still retains the enthusiasm for racing. The Mick Channon-trained Naaddey also has a bit to find with the selection from last season and may just need this, so Roehampton - a twice-raced son of Machiavellian - could be the one to give Hannon's charge the most think about. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained colt fits a similar profile to that of many of his trainer's former inmates and he is definitely one to seriously consider if he is supported in the betting ring. However, Psychiatrist is the form horse at this stage and he has to be the main hope again today.
