Triumph Hurdle winner DEFI DU SEUIL can follow up his Cheltenham success and maintain his unbeaten record by claiming a third Grade 1 victory in this eight runner contest. The selection ran on strongly on that occasion and shouldn't have any problems with the flatter track here. Of the remainder Divin Bere can reverse Cheltenham running with Flying Tiger on a track that is more likely to play to his strengths while Forth Bridge is another to note here.
