Owen favouring King Edward VII challenge for Wimbledon Hawkeye
The Gredley Family-owned son of Kameko has already been seen three times this season – including when second in the Craven then a creditable fifth in the 2000 Guineas – and although shaping nicely when putting his Epsom credentials to the test at York, the King Edward VII Stakes at the Royal meeting has emerged as a preferred option. Owen said: 'He's come out of the Dante really well and he's had three quick runs now and probably ran to a similar level in all three. 'I thought he stayed well at York and although I would love to go to the Derby with him, we have to do the best thing by the horse and we are probably swaying towards the King Edward VII at Royal Ascot. 'We're leaning that way to give him the best chance of getting his head in front. I think he would be a solid Derby runner, but he's got to improve on the form he has shown this year around some of the others. 'It's not certain yet, but at this stage we're swaying towards Royal Ascot over the Derby.' Despite the likely absence of Wimbledon Hawkeye on the Surrey Downs, Owen can still look forward to saddling his first Derby runner after confirming Rogue Impact will take his chance in the premier Classic. Gamble landed at @LingfieldPark! Rogue Impact was well supported in the market and justified that confidence by getting off the mark in the hands of @daviesharry_, landing the double for @JPOwenRacing! — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) April 23, 2025 Although a 200-1 outsider, the Green Ridge Stables handler is confident his son of Study Of Man can outshine those limited expectations on the big stage as connections roll the dice with a colt they hold in high regard. 'Rogue Impact will run in the Derby and he's a horse I really like,' continued Owen. 'He's been learning on the job and is going to stay well and has winning form with Owen Burrows' Al Wasl Storm, who is another outsider running in the Derby. 'I think he would appreciate a little bit of cut in the ground, which I think there probably will be – it will be nice ground – and it's great for the Rogues Gallery (owners) to have a runner in the Derby. 'He's a horse that acquitted himself well in his trial (at Lingfield) before probably being done for a bit of inexperience and not enjoying the fast ground, but he's a nice horse and we're not afraid to have a go.' Owen added: 'We'll be an outsider but like others in the race, we'll be staying on well at the finish – it will just be a question of whether he is good enough. 'Whatever the result, we'll have a great day out, the syndicate will have a great day out and we've got a horse to look forward to for the future after that. He's a horse we really like and I'm delighted we're going to have a run.'

Owen favouring King Edward VII challenge for Wimbledon Hawkeye
Wimbledon Hawkeye could skip the Betfred Derby after James Owen revealed he is 'swaying towards' a Royal Ascot tilt with his Dante Stakes third. The Gredley Family-owned son of Kameko has already been seen three times this season – including when second in the Craven then a creditable fifth in the 2000 Guineas – and although shaping nicely when putting his Epsom credentials to the test at York, the King Edward VII Stakes at the Royal meeting has emerged as a preferred option.
