In depth
Verdict
Craving has gone close on his last three outings and finished ahead of Hasanoanda when third at Wolverhampton last time. He’s preferred to stablemate and newcomer Bobby K though another newcomer in Round The Buoy may prove a threat representing the Haggas yard. AMBIENT was returning from a three-month break when headed in the closing stages over 7f at Newcastle and beaten only a neck. Further progress is expected from Roger Varian’s charge today and he may come out best.
