The Craven Stakes hasn't been the strongest trial for this in recent times but there was plenty to like about the way MASAR won the race here last month. He has course form, seemingly doesn't mind any going (on turf) and is proven over the trip; he looks a solid proposition in a wide open renewal of the race. Aidan O'Brien's record in the race is worth noting and Gustav Klimt is another with course form to his name. It could be significant he's the pick of Seamie Heffernan who is likely to have had the choice of who to ride in Ryan Moore's absence (rides stablemate Mendelssohn in the Kentucky Derby). Elarqam is an exciting prospect who could be anything and he's hard to put a line through.
