An impressive winner on hurdles debut at Newcastle in December, CRUZ CONTROL jumped none too fluently and ultimately never figured at Grade 2 level at Cheltenham a month later. However, the return to calmer waters rates an obvious plus and he ought to play a lead role despite conceding weight all round. Thistlebuffs, on the back of his encouraging debut effort at Kelso, newcomer Nab Wood and God's Own Getaway head up the dangers.
