1st Big Orange 10/11 - 105 2nd Wicklow Brave 18/1 - 55 3rd Qewy 10/1 - 45 4th Oriental Fox 33/1 - 40 No suprise that Big Orange comes top here, he is by far the stand out of these, and is certainly the one to beat. Twice a winner of this, the only concern is that the gorund might be softer than ideal, however no rain forecast, so i am hoping it dries out a bit. So if Big Orange doesn't run to his best then what will take his place? Wicklow Brave from the mighty Mullins stable. He loves this distance, and recently won the Punchestown Champion Hurdle at 2m, he is also the Irish St Leger winner over 1m 6f. My only concern with him is he needs the rain. he is a winner of good but on good-soft he has only managed 1 placed in 5 attempts. Qewy run a cracker of a race at Royal Ascot and that could give him claims here if he runs to that form. He tends to go well fresh though and 2 of his 3 wins have come on the back of a break. He certainly could have place claims. Oriental...
