Verdict

CRUZ CONTROL wasn't seen to ideal effect when set a lot to do in the Eider here last time out so Tom Lacey's 7-y-o is well worth another chance to confirm himself handily weighted now reverted in trip. Jet Legs has also made a positive start over fences and rates a big threat though on the back of his cosy Carlisle success, with veteran Up Helly Aa King in the picture too.
