Punters take Brave route with Mission

From William Hill's Lee Phelps

- 

DESPITE getting off to a difficult start on day two - with True Love a well-backed winner of the Queen Mary - the defeats of Cinderella's Dream, Los Angeles and Rainbow Edge have put us in a good place.

Gold Cup day is here and in the big race itself (4.20), Aidan O'Brien's ILLINOIS is a solid market leader at 13-8.

There has also been some money for French raider CANDELARI (3-1 from 10-3).
