£15,000 3-y-o, Dylan Thomas gelding. Closely related to a point winner. Dam unraced half-sister to Grand National runner-up Cappa Bleu. Bred to need more time and distance and reportedly bled in a bumper when seen in March.
|
Second in a point bumper but looked to be learning in bumpers.
|
Unplaced in bumpers and little promise sent hurdling last 2 starts.
|
Brother to fair hurdler Shaluna, and closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Viva Steve,. Dam (c83/h118) 2m hurdle winner (stayed 21f). Placed on 2 of 3 starts in Irish points and showed plenty when second of 4 in a Bangor bumper last month. Bred to excel over obstacles.
|
Cloudings gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stays 3m) Gunfleet and useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Silver Eagle. Showed plenty when second of 5 in a Carlisle bumper on debut in March. Shaped as though in need of the run on last month's hurdles debut.
|
Promising first effort at Chepstow and didn't need to improve to one better at Exeter in January. Fair effort upped in class at Aintree in April and he's a good hurdles prospect (athletic sort).
|
Getaway gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 3m/25f hurdle winner My Immortal. Shaped like a stayer on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago.
|
Showed much more than previously when second of 6 in a novice at Ayr a month ago.
|
£20,000 buy from the Irish pointing field (won one of his 8 starts in that sphere) and showed much more than opening effort over hurdles when second of 5 at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago. No surprise were there more to come.
|
Promise in bumpers and on the Flat, and he put in good late work without being knocked about when fourth on debut in this sphere over C&D last month. Shade disappointing at Musselburgh since.
|
Half-sister to poor hurdler West Lawn (23f winner). Dam, 21f hurdle winner (stayed 3¾m). Placed on second of 2 starts in point bumpers but offered little sent hurdling at Kelso recently.

Cruz Control (1/1), Leading Force (10/3), Blue Fin (7/2), Coniston Clouds (12/1), Kauto Of Gold (14/1), Scottish Wind (18/1), Artic Row (40/1), Getabeau (80/1), Army's Dream (125/1), This Is Bob (150/1), High On The Hill (250/1), Blame The Farrier (250/1)
CRUZ CONTROL displayed plenty of ability in bumpers last season, and on looks and pedigree, he promises to do even better as a hurdler. This looks a good opening for him with fellow-hurdles debutant Blue Fin feared most.
