Punters have reason to believe that Orthodox, the horse of Clive Cox, can bounce back from a disappointing showing in France and secure victory in the Group One Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.

Orthodox's odds of around 5/1 make him a worthwhile betting option, considering the Cox stable's recent success in securing numerous wins.
