Star stablemate unlikely to pass Facile Vega in Willie Mullins' Supreme planning

It's a pretty common occurrence for punters to suggest that trainers and jockeys are the worst tipsters on the planet. They're probably right because nearly all trainers will be concentrating only on their own horses and therefore won't have a handle of how strong the opposition is going to be.

Even so, I think punters can learn plenty from listening to how trainers talk about their runners because they see their horses day in, day out and should know how good they are and what sort of form they're in.

That's why I think it would be dangerous to back any other Willie Mullins-trained contender in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March because it seems to me that he only has eyes for Facile Vega.
