Based on the excerpt, a reasonable prediction is: **Paul will ask his father about Sutcliffe’s horses again.**
This prediction is supported by Paul's strong desire to assert his independence and his disagreement with his father's ruling on the matter. It's likely that he will continue to advocate for himself in the future. The other options—changing his father's mind, riding Sutcliffe's horses, or refusing to ride them—are less likely given the authoritative response from his father indicating that the decision is final.
