Hankelow
This looks a good Craven. HANKELOW returns to the scene of his Group 3 success last autumn and might be able to get the better of Futurity winner Hawk Mountain, who may need further than 1m this season when the ground isn't riding testing. Unbeaten pair Avicenna, who gained a narrow verdict over the selection in a 7f Doncaster listed race last year, and Hidden Force are other fascinating contenders.

Frankel colt who is 2-2 on all-weather at Kempton, latterly just pushed out to see off Venetian Prince by 1½ lengths in a 1m conditions event also won by the yard's 2024 2000 Guineas winner Notable Speech.

Only fifth on 7f debut last August but improved rapidly after, winning 3 times over 1m, including the Group 2 Beresford at the Curragh (soft) and Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (heavy; beat stablemate Action ½ length). Sets a good standard but may need 1¼m+ to be seen to very best effect this year.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster1mHeavyFlat1/5Curragh1mYielding to SoftFlat1/5Curragh1mGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat1/7Curragh7fGoodFlat5/10- 6(1)OxagonJ: Oisin MurphyT: John & Thady Gosden51255-Age 34/14/19/2

Frankel colt who confirmed debut promise when bolting up by 8 lengths at Sandown. Showed he's smart when second in the Champagne and fifth in the Dewhurst on next 2 starts and presumably failed to cope with heavy ground in the Futurity on final start. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces on return.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster1mHeavyFlat5/5Newmarket (rowley)7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/9Doncaster7f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/5Sandown Park7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/8Newmarket (july)7fGood to FirmFlat5/12- 1(3)AvicennaJ: Ray DawsonT: Roger Varian11-Age 36/15/111/2

Created a very good impression when successful twice over 7f at Doncaster at the end of last summer, latterly edging out Hankelow in a listed event at the St Leger meeting. That reopposing rival boosted that form with a win in a C&D Group 3 in the autumn. Should make a bold bid to remain unbeaten.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster7f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/8Doncaster7f 6yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/7- 7(7)Venetian PrinceJ: P. J.

St Mark's Basilica colt who built on debut promise to land 10-runner novice at Newbury (7f) last August. Runner-up in 2 all-weather starts this year, showed improved form when beaten 1½ lengths by Hidden Force in a 1m Kempton conditions event latterly. A lot more will be needed here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat2/4Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat2/7Newbury7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/10Newmarket (july)7fGood to FirmFlat6/12- 2(4)Commander's IntentJ: James DoyleT: George Scott131222-Age 333/133/128/1

Useful performer, winning a novice and nursery over 7f last summer. Ended his 2-y-o campaign with good runner-up efforts in listed/Group 3 events (all 7f). Will stay 1m but he looks vulnerable in this very strong line-up.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChantilly6f 211ySoftFlat2/8Newmarket (rowley)7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/7Baden-baden6f 211yFlat2/8Doncaster7f 6yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/6Newmarket (july)7fGood to FirmFlat3/5- Non-Runners

Night of Thunder colt who was highly progressive at 2. On the back of a York debut success he was edged out by Avicenna in 7f Doncaster listed event (good) before ending his season with a win in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes over C&D (good to firm). Likely to continue improving.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (rowley)1mGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/7Doncaster7f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/8York7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/7
