Time to kick off the which race will they run in debate.
Here's the contenders:

NJH:  Darlan, Tetlami, Simonsig, Captain Conan, Broadback Bob
Mullins: Sous les Cieux, Boston Bob, Make your Mark
I've no doubt missed something so please add.

My guess would be...

Supreme: Darlan, Tetlami, Sous les Cieux
Neptune: Simonsig, Boston Bob, Broadback Bob
Albert B: Make your Mark
No Show: Captain Conan

Interestingly, Mullins has had at least one horse in all three races in the last three years.

Thoughts?

Mono Man & All The Aces from NJH yard.

Sure there are a few others too.

Good shout. It's going to be hard to fit them all in ! Both look like they would be Supreme or Neptune horses.

I think Sous le C will run in  the Neptune. Looked a short of Supreme pace last time out and Mullins often runs his novices below their Festival trip on ly stepping them up on the day.

I'd say Make Your Mark Neptune, Boston Bob Albert Bartlett, SLC Supreme.

molotof is another henderson novice who could figure in supreme or neptune
Report buddeliea January 15, 2012 7:42 AM GMT
hoping supreme as i've backed him,but jockey after last race over 2m said he may need further.

If Mullins doesn't run SLC in the Supreme then who will he run in that race? The horse is reminding me of Zaidpour last year a bit and that one was kept to two miles despite it appearing as if it lacked the pace for the Supreme after winning the Royal Bond. It would be surprising if Mullins didn't run one in the Supreme. Having said that, there could be one I've missed or one waiting in the wings.
If Molotof goes you would have thought they would step it up to the Neptune after it's last run, and with Mono Man and All the Aces also to consider then NJH is going to have to step something up in trip for the Albert Bartlett I would have thought, and it's possible that Broadback Bob would be the most likely out of his team? That would be a shame as I've backed it for the Neptune ! Not sure if one of his good novices has better stamina credentials than this one?

Mullins is running Terminal today which conceivably could be a Supreme aspitant.

or even aspirant..

Mono Man is highly regarded. Though Hendo has indicated the Neptune for Simonsig, I can see him going for the Bartlett if Fingal Bay runs in the Neptune.

Someone has just matched my £10 on Mono Man at 40 on here for the Supreme.  Either someone is very generous or he may be aimed elsewhere?

Has anyone been following his entries recently? Have they been over 2m or 2m4? Cheers

Also, I suppose all of NJH's novice hurdlers have different owners, so theres nothing to stop him running 3 or 4 in the same race.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Allure Of Illusion turned into Mullins' best Supreme hope.
Mono Man, Darlan, Broadbackbob, Tetlami, All The Aces, Keys?, Simonsig, Fourth Estate?, Captain Conan maybe Molotof too? It's very difficult to guess where they will all end up. My guess would be Mono Man, Darlan & Tetlami running in the Supreme. Simonsig & Capatain Conan in the Neptune & Broadbackbob to run in the Albert Bartlett. The rest I'm not sure about.

Laddies also quoting Tour D'Argent and Oscar Nominee quite short for the Supreme just to add to the conundrum a bit more
