Three-year-olds get a nice weight-for-age allowance here and PSYCHEDELIC FUNK (NAP) can take advantage for his in-form trainer and rider. He won his first two starts here as a juvenile before taking on the likes of Churchill and Caravaggio and hasn't been beaten far in Group 3 contests on his last two starts. Reckless Gold has also been competing at a high level since landing a Curragh maiden last summer and should be approaching his peak after a fair run in a Listed contest at the Curragh. Captain Joy, nine times a winner on Polytrack including the All-Weather Mile Championship at Lingfield, is 0-19 on Turf while the classy Panama Hat hasn't run since October 2015 and needs much further.
