    Verdict

    WICKLOW BRAVE is a cut above today’s opposition though his starting price will reflect that fact. Willie Mullins’ charge arrives in fine form having landed the odds with the minimum of fuss on his last couple of outings and is clear of stablemate Mary Sun on these terms despite conceding plenty of weight. Benkei has been hurdling and hasn’t won on the Flat for some time while Verney Boy has an impossible task at the weights but will pick up prize money for finishing fourth.
