It would not be Craven week without a morning workout from Charlie Appleby and the Moulton Paddocks team on the Rowley Mile as Derby hope Arabian Crown, who was ridden by William Buick, worked alongside stablemate King Of Conquest.

Buick was leading onboard the son of Dubawi when coming out of the Dip, just as he was when the pair won the Group 3 Zetland Stakes at the venue in October.
