By:
Yeh,talking about that earlier funnily enough,be Mark Walsh I reckon Chief.
|
|
By:
Or here's another thought. AP wanys alvisio in the supreme so that he can ride parlour games in the neptune ? Ahhhhh ?
|
|
By:
Good point Graeme
|
|
By:
I've watched the Deloitte back a few times and I can't really see why WPM was annoyed at AP. Thought he gave him a decent ride. Wonder what he meant?
|
|
By:
AP very well known for listening to instructions and remembering them until he gets the leg up then he tends to change plan to what he thinks is best, I guess WPM gave him a set of instructions which got the typical AP treatment.
|
|
By:
I'd guess mullins wanted more effort put into the horses finish, as he's green. Horse lacks experience as it is, so learned not much from not fighting to the line. We will see what happens. If your voucher is ew.be more hopeful than expectant id say.
|
|
By:
BG will be on parlour games....won't he?
His trainers horse is doubtful, I believe? |
|
By:
Alvisio Ville - yeah, who would ride him? Very very interesting if AP chose him
|
|
By:
AP riding Jollyallan surely.
|
|
By:
Not sure if Mark Walsh has ever ridden for Willie? Re Alvisio Ville would be a negative for me at Cheltenham.
|
|
By:
As a backer I would be quiet happy to have MW on AV,and as he is JP.s 2nd jockey,he must be the likely rider I would think.
That's if AP don't pick him of course. Don't think whether he's ridden for Mullins before makes any difference to be honest. |
|
By:
Be slightly worried lack of riding experience at Festival tbh.
Not sure how many rides/winners he has had there, cannot remember him have any winners. He is 0 from 16 in Britain last 5 seasons. |
|
By:
I've seen enough of him to be happy with him
On board,if the horse is good enough I don't see MW stopping him from winning. |

just watched an irish horse preview on youtube with some bloke describing douvan as "the only horse who can get faugheen off the bridle at home"
comments like that always make me laugh! |
|
By:
We will all find out shortly,short priced Favs in race have poor record over the years.
|
|
By:
Mark Walsh's broken arm blows the Alvisio Ville ride back open. Feel sorry for him.
|
|
By:
Oh that is not good,wont be Champion Jockey now either.
Maybe Townsend? |
|
By:
Was thinking he'd probably be on Shaneshill mate.
|
|
By:
Yes maybe forgotten horse, and i have backed him win any race last year.Off my radar now will be laying off nr time when shortens.
|
|
By:
Cooper tipping up Shaneshill for the neptune tonight!
|
|
By:
The Neptune,thought was going Supreme?
|
|
By:
As far as know no mention of which race Shaneshill goes for,you heard something I aint Stevo?
So I'm guessing now that Townend would be on Mullins other horse in this,hope it's AV. |
|
By:
Preview last night - re Neptune -
Cooper- I'll ride outlander. Trip will suit well. Jumps, travels but people are forgetting Shaneshill. Go figure, budd. |
|
By:
Who rides Alvisio, do we think?
|
|
By:
budd no I aint heard anything mate,just surprised Coopers comment re Shaneshill for Neptune.
|
|

comments like that always make me laugh! But if it's true... |
|
By:
Highly doubt Shaneshill will run in the same race as Nichols Canyon, so will probably be the Supreme. Don't see why Cooper would know where Shaneshill is going, makes no sense for Wylie to run them both in the Neptune when you could make a case for either to be in the Supreme.
|
|
By:
shaneshill has been campaigned as if Neptune is the target, nicholls canyon has just won the best supreme trial easily, but we are talking about willie mullins so who knows.......
![]() |
|
By:
Ok Stevo cheers mate.
So basically we don't know and as Slabster says,why would cooper know?? And same race as Ncanyon??? if indeed that's where NC goes!! Just too much speculation on here sometimes imo |
|
By:
If it was up to me I'd have Nichols Canyon in the Supreme and run Douvan in the Neptune. Nichols Canyon had the Deloitte won on the home bend such was the speed he showed and he wasn't going any further away from Windsor Park at the line, and you could make a case for that horse getting closer/reversing the form in the Neptune. But it's not up to me

Sizing John under the radar for Supreme, won a Grade 1 lto
form boosted this week. Slight negative trainer-form but at 33s, could be e/w bet if travelling. |
|
By:
25/1 e/w with PP maybe way to as free bet if Douvan wins.
|
|
By:
It's seems pretty obvious to me that NC will be in the Neptune, and if Shaneshill is ready he'll be in the Supreme. NC was a 2m flat horse.. the neptune distance will bring out the best in him.
|
|
By:
I agree with slabster if NC were mine he,d be in the supreme
![]() |
|
By:
Owner says NC goes Neptune,think that is right decision if that is the case.
He would probably run a big race in either to be honest,but a horse that as Sint says was 2m flat horse suggests to me that the Neptune would be ideal. |
|
By:
Cardinal Walter absolutely sluiced up in the first at Doncaster. Good news for Qewy backers as franked the form in good style.
|
|
By:
Yep,pleased to see that.
|
|
By:
I'm on Douvan at 6-1 but I have my doubts to be honest. High knee action may need soft, beat 3 milers last time, lack of a prep run, ain't had to dig in yet, favs poor record. I don't care about the hype from the stable cos that stable could run the local donkey and certain people would have you that its a superstar - Pont Alexandre, Boston Bob, Annie Power...all taken care of for starters
Had Shaneshill and Allez Colombieres yonks ago and one has died and the other is almost still alive! Took Qewy today after C Walter's 15 lengths romp. Was immediately taken by Qewy's turn of foot LTO and with the form well and truly franked he is good value. |
