'We'd relish the challenge' - Bravemansgame owner excited by Allaho clash

Bring it on was the sentiment shared by Bravemansgame’s joint-owner Bryan Drew on Sunday ahead of a potentially pulsating clash with dual Ryanair Chase winner Allaho in the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase.

The Paul Nicholls-trained seven-year-old put in a faultless display when easing to a three-and-a-half-length win over Eldorado Allen in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on Saturday – described by Drew as a "ten out of ten day".

Bravemansgame’s sole visit to Kempton brought a first top-level win over fences in the Kauto Star Novices’ Chase on King George day last year, with Long Run the last horse to go on to win the December 26 highlight the following season in the rescheduled 2010 running, which took place in January 2011.
