Welcome to the third and final day of the 2025 bet365 Craven meeting and if this is your first time at the Home of horse racing this season, may I take the opportunity to say welcome!
Those who have been fortunate enough to be with us for the first 2 days of our season opening meeting and have already enjoyed some thrilling action, there is plenty more to come today!
We would like to thank bet365 again, the worlds largest online bookmaker, for their generous sponsorship throughout the 3 days of the Craven meeting. I would also like to extend my thanks to the European Breeders Fund, The Family and Friends of Alex Scott, the Japanese Racing Association, Aston Martin (our official luxury automotive partner of the Jockey Club) and Debenhams.com (our new Official Online Fashion and Beauty Partner of the Jockey Club) for their generous support across the card. Debenhams have also secured the naming rights of our prestigious July Festival over on the July Course so make sure to check out their website for fashion tips and tricks and discounts.
In addition, Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai will be running a leaderboard for leading owner and leading trainer through the season with us. Starting at the bet365 Craven meeting and running right through to the end of racing on 1st November
With the bet365 meeting almost behind us , our focus will shortly turn to the Betfred Guineas Festival starting on Friday 2nd May. The first Classics of the season are races you do not want to miss, so make sure to book your tickets to witness history being made here at the Rowley Mile.

The Jockey Club would like to thank our Group Partners for their support in 2025
As a leading distributor of horse feed, bedding and supplements in the greater GCC area, I am once again immensely proud to support the Jockey Club at Newmarket Racecourses for the 2025 season. Newmarket is credited as being where thoroughbred racing first started which is why so many from every corner of the world Mile Rowley The appreciate and assemble and The July Course.
As ever, the enthusiasm of Sophie Able and her team at Newmarket translates into a top class service for Owners, Trainers, Jockeys and Stable Staff and for that we are deeply grateful.
I would like to wish all those visiting Newmarket throughout the 2025 season, the very best of luck.
Have a wonderful day at the races today.

Indian Springs found the penny dropping late on when third at Kempton in December, so he’s put forward as the main threat, with Raafedd, Great and Nakeeb a trio of others worth considering, too.

PRESENT TIMES came in for a no-nonsense ride when opening his account at Lingfield in November and, appealing as the type to do better still now handicapping as a 3-y-o, he earns the vote to make a winning return. Fearnot has made an excellent start on all-weather in recent weeks and he’s a danger tackling handicaps at 1m for the first time. Byblos, Transparent and Yabher are just a trio of others meriting a second look in a race packed full of likely improvers

A race that has unearthed the odd smart prospect down the years and that could again be the case with ANNO DOMINI, who won his first couple of starts last summer and had excuses in the Futurity Trophy at Doncaster on final outing. Treble Tee heads up the dangers having landed a gamble in a back-end novice on debut over C&D last year, with Sea Baaeed and Al Arbeed both once-raced winners open to progress, too.

Stewards Note:
TOY SOLDIER: Following its run on 15/3/2025 it was reported that the horse ran too freely and hung right. LUNAR ORBIT: Following its run on 16/10/2024 it was reported that the horse ran too free.

POWER FIZZ was well-backed when getting off the mark with a bit to spare at Newcastle in January, and he makes plenty of appeal now handicapping back on turf Fellow last-time-out winner Panama Black is going in the right direction and should give another good account, while Prosperitas is likely to have more to offer back at 7 furlongs.

WHITE CROWN STAR showed improved form on his return when opening his account at Kempton last month and, with his yard amongst the winners, he can continue his progress to make a successful handicap debut. He is preferred to Art Market, who could be capable of better having been gelded since his latest outing, with Valsharah also considered.
