Willie Mullins believes Facile Vega, will bounce back from his shock defeat in the Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday afternoon.
Unbeaten in six previous starts, Facile Vega was sent off the 4-9 favourite to add another top-level triumph to his tally at the Dublin Racing Festival in one of the biggest races of the day.
However, after setting out to make all under Paul Townend, Facile Vega faded quickly in the straight to finish last of five behind stablemate Il Etait Temps, with Mullins pointing to his strong early pace as the reason for defeat.
