        Verdict

        Oliver Sherwood has his team in fine fettle this season and Rodalko is sure to go well. Considered an unlucky loser when falling on his return at Plumpton, the four-year-old made amends in style at Ludlow next time, and is expected to go well under his penalty, with Tony McCoy in the plate again. He is sure to make a smashing chaser and can justify TEAMtalk's selection ahead of the equally progressive Calling Brave and Soho Fields. The latter was also a winner at Ludlow on what was his racecourse debut, while Calling Brave was good enough to score on both his bumper debut at Aintree and his first start over timber at Kempton. However, he did not jump well at Sandown last time and will be found out again with a similar performance.
