Mullins' concern over Cousin Vinny

Willie Mullins has expressed some concern about his Cousin Vinny in advance of Tuesday's Williamhill.com Supreme Novices' Hurdle.

Mullins said: "Cousin Vinny didn't travel over as well as we expected. He didn't eat up or drink up on Saturday night and, while he was better last night, it is a slight concern.

"Hopefully, he will eat and drink normally tonight and be in better form in the morning.

"He is going to take his chance as we feel there is no point in stalling the ball at this stage. But I expected to be a lot happier with him."
