CRUDEN has been knocking on the door for his up-and-coming stable, just about better than ever when second at Goodwood 4 weeks ago. He's perhaps a shade fortunate to be left on the same mark given the distance back to the rest so is taken to cash in. Secret Force was value for extra at Pontefract last time so he demands respect, with Valley of Flowers another in-form rival to consider.
