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.
