Probably depends on how they are broke... I have two horses bred very similar one is bendy one is not. They were broke and started by different people you can't compare.
I had a grandson, he was very light and responsive, even as a yearling. He's the only CC bred horse I've had though, so I don't know if that is typical of them.
Mine is a weird combination. As a whole, he is very sensitive but being from the track he can be surprisingly dull on the right side but that I'm sure will change with time and riding. I also feel it has a ton to do with how they are broke and rode.
Looking forward to being able to answer you soon! Our two year old Ivory James stud colt is headed to the trainer this winter. I'm going to be really surprised if he's not light and very bendy . . . he's so athletic!
I have a "Little Corona". He's got tons of bend and more heart/try than most horses. He can and will willingly go all day. It doesn't mater how hot or cold. He loves to go. He's also very smart and tuff to stay a step ahead of at times. They aren't for everyone. He's like having a second job sometimes.

I have 2 CC grandsons out of same mare, an Ivory James and Jet Cartel. They are both off the track but have been incredibly easy to 're start. They tend to be a little flat but I think it's bc they are so low hocked and really use their hindquarters and get up under themselves when they turn, slightly roll back style. Their soft in the shoulders but I think it's the way they use themselves naturally.

I have a grand daughter that I have unfortunately had to offer for sale due to having to replace my AC unit in my house. :( She's a 4 YO and has been pretty easy to start. I sent her to Gunnar Enlow and Jordan Robinson to haul and season. She's a sweetheart as far as personality and her style I would say is a bit more rollback than bendy, but she really wants to turn. She's only been entered a handful of times, and won the 3D her first time entered, which was also her first run outdoors and without an exhibition. She's a really neat mare and if she's not sold in the next couple of weeks i'm going to go pick her up and enjoy her. I'd take 100 more just like her! http://barrelhorseworld.com/horsedetail.asp?ID=290998 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIA3cOMvUsc
