Wicklow Brave steps up to plate for 12th time this year

Willie Mullins’ versatile performer has turned up at several of the big festivals in 2015, including Cheltenham, Royal Ascot, Galway and York’s Ebor meeting.
Wicklow Brave will be kept on the go for at least this race after being supplemented on Monday following his fine third behind stablemates Nichols Canyon and Faugheen in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown two weeks ago. “Wicklow Brave has been improving away over the summer and that’s why we kept him for it (Morgiana) and thought he’d play a big part in it,” said Mullins.
