As expected townend no idea what he'll ride in supreme or arkle, most interesting thing is listening to skelton talking about con hill, he says there's no chance of him being at his best after working that badly so close to the race
Sounded pretty lukewarm at best on Ile Atlantique.

How confident did he sound about Tullyhill? I assume he was asked.

Said he loves Ile Atlantique, got robbed in the Lawlors etc and he actually pulled out a bit more than he expected there when he was joined by RTW. Did make a point though that he has been beaten now a few times when looking the winner. I wouldn't say he was as lukewarm as the poster above suggested personally and thought he was quite positive

Did definitely say he didn't not fight and actually went up in his estimations after that race, not sure if that's a good thing or if he didn't rate him that much before.
Then asked for who wins if Ballyburn doesn't turn up and he just said "something else".
Both positives and negatives in there, he obviously thinks he's a good horse. Maybe lukewarm was a little harsh but it wasn't exactly glowing either.
Maybe just one for people to watch themselves and see how they interpret it.
