Mr Mistoffelees arrives at the Craven Stakes as the lowest rated runner in the field, around 20 lbs below his closest rival Ancestral Land. The three-year-old landed his first victory on the flat last time out at Kempton in December, fending off 13 runners when priced at 33/1 (a neck ahead of Tajawal).
Didn’t figure too much on his two starts prior to Kempton win and this is a lot tougher. No doubt ability to progress more but this looks a difficult ask on his first outing amongst this type of company.
