This looks a good Craven. James Owen continues in red-hot form so WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE might be the way to go but he faces some strong opposition. Field of Gold, Aomori City and New Century all made an impact in top 2-y-o events abroad last autumn, while the other Godolphin runner Opera Ballo has created a really good impression when bolting up twice on Kempton's polytrack.
