Defi Du Seuil: 'I'll remember him for his toughness

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Defi Du Seuil won the 2019 Shloer Chase at Cheltenham. He beat Politologue, who was second to Altior in the previous year’s Champion Chase. Un De Sceaux repeated the victory in Ascot”s Victor Chandler Chase, this time extending his advantage to just shy of three lengths. Defi du Seul was retired last January after a below-par run in Silviniaco Conti Chase in Kempton. He was sent off at odds of 2-5 but finished a disappointing fourth. His trainer Hobbs will remember him for his toughness.
