This appears to centre around Calling Brave and Rodalko and, as he has the stronger form to date, the former is given the vote of confidence today. Opal Ridge faces a stiff introduction to fences and is best watched this time, while Cowboyboots has plenty to find on his hurdles form alone and is not hard to leave out of the equation this afternoon. Therefore, Calling Brave is fancied to continue his education with a confidence boosting round before Sir Robert Ogden and his advisors decide which race to aim for at the Cheltenham Festival with the son of Bob Back. However, that is not to say that Rodalko cannot go on to better things but his lack of big-race entries simply suggests it may be some time before we see the best of him.
