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).

£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.

Forecasts

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)

Verdict

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.
