WICKLOW BRAVE has been a fantastic servant to the Willie Mullins stable, winning 14 times and been placed the same number, usually at a high level. He's a Grade 1 winner who very nearly added to his tally when beaten a short-head in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and regular pilot Patrick Mullins keeps the ride. Off You Go beat Jezki in the Ladbroke at Leopardstown before doing best of the remainder behind 25/1 winner Tiger Roll in a Navan Grade 2. He's an obvious threat while Petite Mouchoir, who didn't quite do as well as expected over fences, has been competing at the highest level since reverting to hurdles and should find this more to his liking. Tombstone is capable of a big run though is just held by the selection on their placed efforts at Naas in January.
