Cruden
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.

Flat/hurdles winner during the winter in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and cemented a very solid start for this yard when landing 5-runner handicap at Pontefract 3 weeks ago. Value for a bit extra given how that race panned out so he needs considering up 4 lb.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPontefract2m 2f 2yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/5York1m 3f 188yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/9Hamilton Park1m 3f 15yGoodFlat4/10Ayr2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdlepu/15Musselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/6- 3(3)CrudenJ: Rossa RyanT: Dan Horsford/2-5252Age 53/13/111/4

On a losing run but he comes here in excellent nick, better than ever when finding only a rejuvenated rival too strong in 1¾m handicap at Goodwood 4 weeks ago, clear of the rest. Return to 2m in his favour so major claims from the same mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood1m 6fSoft (Heavy in places)Flat2/8Salisbury1m 6f 44yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/9Goodwood1m 6fGoodFlat2/10Kempton Park1m 7f 218yStandard / SlowFlat5/6Wolverhampton1m 5f 219yStandardFlat2/7- 5(8)Treasure IslandsJ: S.

Off the mark at Ripon (2m) in April and capitalised on drop in grade in 4-runner handicap at Catterick last month. Enjoyed the run of the race on that occasion and found the going tougher when mid-field under a penalty at Newcastle 2 weeks ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 56yStandard / SlowFlat12/20Catterick Bridge1m 7f 189yGood to FirmFlat1/4Thirsk2m 13yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/13Haydock Park2m 45ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat2/6Ripon2mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/7- 9(4)Division DayJ: Warren FentimanT: Brian Ellison65112-1Age 48/18/19/1

Back-to-back Flat winner during the autumn and in good nick over hurdles this winter too, second at Sedgefield in February. Stuck to his task well when adding to tally on the level (1½m) at Doncaster last month but must cast aside a disappointing performance at Worcester.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWorcester2mGoodHurdle4/8Doncaster1m 3f 197yGood to FirmFlat1/6Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/10Doncaster2m 128ySoftHurdle2/8Wetherby2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/8- 6(11)Valley Of FlowersJ: Joanna MasonT: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward3-67241Age 89/19/18/1

Ended losing run dating back to 2023 when a smooth winner at Carlisle (11f) last week, eased near the line and value for a bit extra. 5 lb rise is fair enough given manner of that success and she stays 2m well, so is one to consider.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle1m 3f 39yGoodFlat1/5Catterick Bridge1m 7f 189yGood to FirmFlat4/4Thirsk1m 4f 8yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/12Hamilton Park1m 3f 15yGoodFlat7/8Beverley1m 4f 23yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat6/7- 1(9)Rock N Roll PinkieJ: David NolanT: Ivan Furtado26-2455Age 611/19/110/1

Steadily progressive handicapper who hit the target 3 times last season, including twice over C&D. Sound-enough start to this season, faring about as well as could be expected in Group 3 Bronte Cup over 1¾m here in May. Falsely-run race against her over that C&D 2 weeks ago so forgiven that.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork1m 5f 188yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/8York1m 5f 188yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/7Nottingham1m 6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/6Southwell2m 102yStandardFlat2/5Nottingham1m 6fSoft (Heavy in places)Flat6/6- 7(7)TerroriseJ: Ben RobinsonT: Brian Ellison060-006Age 514/111/112/1

Hurdles scorer last May and ran out an emphatic winner of this race a year ago. Ended 2025 with a poor run at this venue and continued out of sorts this season, including in a visor 2 weeks ago.

Successful 4 times in 2025 and benefited from a drop back in grade this season when winning over 1¾m at Carlisle last month. Combination of 5 lb penalty, drop to 11f and a better race found him out back there 17 days ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle1m 3f 39yGood to FirmFlat6/10Carlisle1m 6f 32yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/11Hamilton Park1m 5f 16yGoodFlat8/12Musselburgh1m 7f 217yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/8Musselburgh1m 5f 216ySoftFlat9/13- 10(1)FurhaanJ: Lauren YoungT: Jim Goldie15-0975Age 420/120/122/1

Won over hurdles in March and found the trip inadequate when down field over 1¼m returned to the Flat here 29 days ago. Should strip fitter for that outing and be suited by a return to this trip, but this is a better race than she need contest.

Flat winner over this trip at Carlisle a year ago and in excellent form over hurdles this spring, completing a cross-code 4-timer (all hurdles wins at Sedgefield). Heavy defeat away from that venue at Perth a month ago but he can be a factor back on the level.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPerth2m 47yGoodHurdle12/12Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/11Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/11Sedgefield2m 178yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/9Southwell2m 102yStandardFlat1/9
