Bill Esdaile is tweeting live from mullins yard today. He's saying Alvisio Ville connections are leaning towards supreme.
what does that mean for jollyallan?
Katie Walsh reported to have said she has ridden all novices at ail lies and Douvan is the best. Also prefers Shaneshill to Nichols Canyon and reckons Shaneshill is a great bet for the Neptune.

Alvisio Ville: The chances are he's going to run in the Sky Bet Supreme. I thought he learnt more bad habits than good ones last time but I'll say no more about that. Connections are leaning towards the Supreme with him and that's fine with me.
Shaneshill: If Nichols Canyon runs in the Neptune, I'd say he'd be going for the Supreme but he has a good bit of work to do first. We're not there with him yet.
Nichols Canyon: He was a winner on the Flat at 1m6f but he could go over any trip. The owner hopes he might have a new Inglis Drever. At this stage, I reckon he'll end up in in the Neptune.
Tell Us More: He could go to the Supreme or the Neptune. It will depend upon how he gallops. He has to make me happy at home before he goes there at all – which he hasn’t been doing lately.
Douvan: He’s been marked in for the Supreme for some time now and we’ll take anything on. Ground won’t be an issue. He’s just got lots of natural ability and every question we ask him, he has the answers to. He’s one of the nicest horses we have ever had going to Cheltenham.
Anyone think that Mullins was having a sly dig at McCoys riding of AV in the Delloite? Seems to me he wasn't happy that he raced with no cover for the whole race.
Mullins critical of a McCoy ride..wow, he cud be sent to the tower for that![]()
Jollyallan and Seedling both tightening up.
Mullins will not be happy if the giggy team insist tell us more runs in supreme.Douvan is the best novice in yard and tell us more is next best.I wait to see who gets there way with this one!
