THE fine run being enjoyed by owner J.P. McManus continued at Chepstow on Tuesday as 4/5 favourite Defi Du Seuil maintained his unbeaten record in the Grade 1 coral.co.uk Future Champions Finale Junior Hurdle.

There have possibly been more competitive renewals but horses can only beat those that turn up on the day and Defi Du Seuil, having led soon after four out, could even afford a mistake at the next and slipshod efforts at the last two before pulling away for Richard Johnson to beat Evening Hush by 13 lengths, with Dolos third.
