Call To Arms clearly has ability but his form figures betray a very wayward tendency to his work and he has been close to pulling himself up the last twice for no apparent reason. He'll play a part if consenting to deliver his best but obviously comes with risks attached. However, ALL THE WINDS would more than likely still be too good for the Bowen charge at his best despite conceding weight all round. Shaun Lycett's gelding was backed into favouritism when mightily impressive over C&D on debut and can follow up with the champion jockey once more on board. Taaresh showed promise on his Aintree hurdling debut and should progress from that, with Petito and Mykingdomforahorse also worthy of attention in a decent contest.
