Recently seen with a strong seasonal comeback behind what looks to be a smart rival, Cruz Control made a very promising debut over fences and likely will only improve going forward.

Although his wins came over 2 miles as a hurdler, he looked slightly outpaced on his return run over the minimum trip and shaped like going back over further should bring about some improvement.

Dropped 1lb for his recent defeat, a rating of 121 looks to be beatable and he handles soft conditions well.
