Boston Bob - Albert Bartlett??

A heard Albert Bartlett.  I think they said that in the Betfair Festival preview evening because they want to avoid Simonsig

*I

Don't think it was that. That was 2 days ago and only conjecture. Things have settled back down now but at 5pm you would have sworn blind that there had been an announcement. Should have known better than to look for it given the trainer :)

Was told last night that he runs in the Neptune

Who by, COM?

Old news this. Patrick Mullins, WMs son said at the Galway preview last Monday that Boston Bob would run in the Albert Bartlett. Has been wisely reported on here

'widely'

Runs in AB

I'm sure they mentioned the confirmed plans on ATR about 20 minutes ago

Speaking after A Fine Young Man's win at Naas today, Champion Trainer Willie Mullins has given his Cheltenham running plans for his hurdlers, including his high profile novice Boston Bob.

Mullins said “Boston Bob will be kept to the end of the week for the Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle. I was talking to Mr Wylie (owner) this morning and that is what I said and he is happy enough to do that.”

“Midnight Game, Simenon and Allure of Illusion will probably be my three runners in the Supreme Novice Hurdle while Mark Your Mark and Sous Les Cieux will run in the Neptune Novices. I've not made decision on which race Felix Yonger will run in yet.”

“In the World Hurdle I will have four runners - Mourad, Mikael d'Haguenet, So Young and Thousand Stars.”

Lump on the Neptune then lads.........

4 runners in the world hurdle ffs

3 of them to try and block in big bucks while thousand stars sprints for home!
