DEFI DU SEUIL showed a great attitude to land the Tingle Creek at Sandown on Saturday.
Philip Hobbs’ chaser sat in behind the leaders before cruising into contention.
Un De Sceaux and Defi Du Seuil settled down to do battle as they rounded the final turn and for a minute the hot favourite looked to be in trouble.
However, a good jump at the last saw Defi Du Seuil begin to stretch clear – but Un De Sceaux was not going down without a fight and pushed Defi Du Seuil all the way to the line with the winner coming home just a neck in front.
Waiting Patiently ran a terrific race in third bouncing back to some of his best form.
