The Willie Mullins-trained WICKLOW BRAVE sets the standard here following a number of sparkling runs over the summer. The nine-year-old is in good heart right now and can see off the challenges from his biggest dangers, Arctic Fire and Tombstone. The Iain Jardine runner, Bedrock looks the best of the rest.
