THE bet365 CRAVEN STAKES
The Craven Stakes is named in honour of William Craven (1738-1791), 6th Baron Craven. Craven was an early member of The Jockey Club who was also responsible for the building of the original Craven Cottage, home of Premier League soccer team Fulham FC
Originally staged as Newmarket’s first race of the season and an allaged contest, early winners included Potoooooooo (often shortened to Pot-8-Os or Pot8O’s) in 1782 Potoooooooo went on to become an important and influential stallion in the early history of horseracing. The race changed in 1878 to become a mile event for three-year-old colts only bet365 has generously sponsored the Craven Stakes since 2017.
The current contest is the oldest of the recognised trials for the 2000 Guineas and uniquely the sole one to take place over the same Rowley Mile at Newmarket as the Classic itself
Scot Free in 1884 became the first colt to win both races and in total the Craven/2000 Guineas double has been completed 11 times. Slieve Gallion (1907), Neil Gow (1910), Kennymore (1914), Colombo (1934), My Babu (1948), Shadeed (1985), Dancing Brave (1986), Doyoun (1988), Tirol (1990) and Haafhd (2004) are the 10 other colts to win both races.
It is not just the 2000 Guineas that the Craven Stakes offers Classic clues for with both Jeddah (1898) and more recently Masar (2018) going on to glory in the Derby at Epsom Downs in early June.
Other standout winners this century included subsequent Group One scorers Twice Over (2008), Toronado (2013), Toormore (2014), Master Of The Seas (2021) and Native Trail (2022)
Today’s contest could see some Classic pointers with four of the seven declared runners also currently engaged in the QIPCO 2000 Guineas on Saturday 4th May – Native Approach, Eben Shaddad, Haatem, Sons And Lovers and Champagne Prince

Plentyare inwith a shout. CITYHOUSE created a reallygood impressionwhen opening his account at Kempton last autumn so James Fanshawe’s Night Of Thunder colt is fancied to return in style and defy a 13lb hike in the weights. York scorer Pilgrim looks handily weighted for his handicap debut so headsthe listofdangers, although a goodcase can also be made forthe likes ofMashadi, North View, Irish Nectar and Woodhay Wonder in this highly-competitive handicap

PLAY SMARTER
The market should provide plenty of clues with no form to go on, but PADESHA is evidently well thought of given the entries he holds, so is an obvious place to start Charlie Appleby has an excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so First Conquest makes the shortlist, while the Gosden team has won this twice in recent years and Lead Artist heads a trio of well-bred sorts from that yard

SPYCATCHER: Following its run on 21/10/2023 it was reported that the horse was denied a clear run.
Probable S.P’s: 6-1 Shouldvebeenaring (GB), 13-2 Commanche Falls (GB), 15-2 Marshman (GB), 8-1 Spycatcher (IRE), 9-1 Run To Freedom (GB), 11-1 Garrus (IRE), 12-1 Mill Stream (IRE), 14-1 Tiber Flow (IRE), 18-1 Mitbaahy (IRE), 22-1 Popmaster (IRE), Saint Lawrence (IRE), Makarova (GB), 40-1 Washington Heights (GB), 50-1 Streets of Gold (IRE)
A typically strong renewal of this Group 3 contest. SHOULDVEBEENARING had several of these behind when a terrific second in the Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock in September and, likely to be spot-on following a spin on the all-weather last month, he gets the nod. The admirable Commanche Falls will surely be in the mix, provided he is readyto roll following a break. He’s second choice ahead of Run To Freedom and Spycatcher, while last year’s winner Garrus also merits respect.

This looks a cracking renewal. EBEN SHADDAD sets a good standard on his Dewhurst third and there should be more to come this year so he’s preferred to French raider Alcantor, another with Group 1 form in the book, and Godolphin’s Native Approach.

The Gosden’s look to hold a strong hand with promising IZIPIZI and Miss Kubelik possibly the pair to focus on. The former shaped with definite promise when chasing home another of their stablemates on debut at Kempton in December and shades the vote That said, the latter did particularly well under the circumstances when filling the same spot on her respective debut and market confidence behind her would look significant. Rolica and Painite are others to consider

This looks a useful novice but it’s hard to get away from ENDLESS VICTORY, who displayed a potent turn of foot when making a winning start at Wolverhampton and this Derby entrant can improve a lot. Meydaan and Kalidasa also struck at the first time of asking and are open to progress in their own right.

PLAY SMARTER
The strong-travelling PEARLE D’OR went like the best horse at the weights when third in the Challenge Cup at Ascot last October and represents a yard who possess an exemplary record with older handicappers, so a chance istaken he’ll be able to overcome a high drawto springboard what could be a fruitful season. Northern Express was amongst the most solid handicappers around last term and is respected, whilst the unexposed Poet Master and French raider Suviana are also considered.
