Facile Vega at 1/2 / 4/7 is a pretty disgusting price on Sunday.
Marine Nationale is missing but there isn't really any other decent Irish horse missing that could line up in the Supreme (assuming Impaire and Gaelic are going the Ballymore).
I've flown the flag for Dark Raven and Inthepocket for the Ballymore this season but no way is Facile Vega clear of them for them to be 14/1 and 10/1. High Definition is 8/1 and a grade 1 animal on the flat. Irish Point had been 2nd in two grade 1s that are better than the grade 1 Facile has won. I'm happy to ignore Il Etait Temps and No Looking Back.
You can get over 2/1 for the other 4 horses to beat him or potentially lay him at short odds. Something I'll look at on Sunday morning but he isn't a 1/2 shot. Possibly I'll just dutch Inthepocket and Dark Raven and trust my earlier judgement on them. If Facile wins then he's a good horse and I'll make it back at Cheltenham.
