It’s been pretty close between Defi and Lostintranslation on their last two runs, but Defi Du Seuil has travelled like the better horse and having quickened away here as Cheltenham 2 runs ago, he was reeled in by the stronger stayer. Given a slightly more patient ride last time he held on well. Although it’s tight on ratings these two look the class act, Defi seems to be improving his jumping with every run and is fancied to get the better of his rival again, with the stable in fine form.
