Punters get Brave calling in Post Chase

CORAL have cut Calling Brave from 16-1 to 12-1 for the Racing Post Chase on Saturday after Nicky Henderson’s charge was yesterday the subject of decent market support.

The 10-year-old has not been seen since he was pulled up in the 2004 King George VI Chase, but is reportedly in fine fettle ahead of the Sandown feature.

“We were hoping to run last week in the Ascot (totesport) Chase, but the ground was probably a little too heavy for him at Lingfield,” said Barry Simpson, racing manager to owner Sir Robert Ogden.
