Aidan O’Brien reveals confirmed runners and riders for the Craven Stakes as Classic contender Cambridge emerges.

The Ballydoyle trainer, O’Brien, has not declared stablemate Henry Adams for the upcoming race, with jockey Ryan Moore taking the reins as the stable seeks its first win in the Group 3 contest. Cambridge, an Irish Derby entry, is considered the 5-4 ante-post favorite after an impressive maiden win at Kempton in February, with odds of 40-1 for the Guineas. The Calyx colt finished third in the Dewhurst at odds of 25-1 in his previous outing, and now Alexis Pouchin is set to ride him for the first time, replacing Mickael Barzalona.

The Fergal O’Brien-trained mare, who missed both the Cheltenham and Aintree races last week, was due to compete against Jeremy Scott’s six-year-old, who was also absent at Aintree.
