Not fluent early doors but he's hard not to like.
Will be hard to boot him out the frame at Cheltenham.

All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.
What trip will Vinndication be best at do we think?
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Forget those terrible runs and look at Defi Du Seuil as a novice Chaser who put up as high class a performance as any seen this season over fences.
On the Blind Side is fa long way down pecking Order at 7B and Defi has already taken care of Black Op once.
Lostintransation I just cant see being in the shake up.
I intend emptying the entire BF account Defi Du Seuil.....but don't tell the missus...........we both got Flu and scrapped all plan to party...did break open abottle of vodka but 9.11pm here and Idoubt if we will make it to 12 midnight...Happy New Year all when it hitsya

TBH I haven't given that any thought. I imagine the JLT will be on their minds......guess we will know more tomorrow

Couldn't back him with stolen money there after the way he jumped on debut.
I was surprised to see Defi back at Cheltenham so quickly as he looked terrified that first time but he did get the hang of it much better at Exeter (after a couple of deliberate early jumps). However Philip Hobbs is one of the best trainers out there and will have been doing plenty of schooling so he obviously thinks he's ready to go back presumably to see if the Festival is a goer. Hope it is - love the horse!

I felt for you on that one old chum, he was keen all the way and I was just hoping Barry might sit and sit and nick it at the death rather than kick him on but twas not to be dread to think what price it went in running.Originally Posted by Tanlic

Man who catch fly with chopstick .... accomplish anything.
Interesting race and comments from Tizzard. He obviously holds this horse in the highest regard mentioning him being possibly his next top one and he's pretty sharp, our Colin!
Defi I have to say I am going to take the positive side. He jumped vastly better and came to win his race having travelled strongly. He was just outstayed but BG had no choice but to go on and you would have expected him to see it out well being a Triumph winner. But perhaps not and 2 miles is his optimum.

Being outstayed was always the danger for me with the 2nd.
Up to 3m with the winner please Tizzy.

Defi will always find one too good

Hit 1.01 so I manage to safe a bit but still a big loss..............couldn't believe how the winner fought back
Formely Fist of Fury
How on earth do you come to that assumption mate.........you been drinking?
The horse won 8 on the trot and he's been beaten once in a finish by a very good horse
Not your finest post

He just won't be as good as you hope/think
He couldn't of been put in a better position today to win and didn't
His races will get tougher and not easier.
Keep following these much raced juveniles into their senior careers disappoints nine times out of ten

You beat me to it! I was about to come out with the same! As I said before, you can totally write off last season and then came to Cheltenham for his first experience of fences and frightened the life out of himself. The shrewd Mr Hobbs then takes him to Exeter where fences are easier. Horse wins tidily from decent opposition. Today he had the race won but then got outstayed by what could be a future star if his trainer's words are taken literally.

I’m not sure how good that’ll turn out to be though. Black Op jumped like an absolute pig and they only heat him 4 lengths.
He was actually over 7 lengths behind and that's where he was 3 out.
The first 2 never asked their mounts for anything until turning in and by that time the ridden Black Op had gained a bit and got within 3 lengths but as soon as the front 2 asked he lost that ground again.
He would certainly have finished closer but for mistakes but you are talking about a genuine group 1 novice hurdler.
That was as good a novice as we have seen this season and good enough for the winner to be made clear fav for the JLT.
Formely Fist of Fury
Trip too short for Black Op on that ground also.
Interesting that the winner is as short as 6/1 with Paddy for the JLT (10s with Ladbrokes) while Colin Tizzard’s immediate reaction was that the RSA would suit him better.

That win yesterday for LIT for me just demonstrates even more what a mare La Bague Au Roi is.

9 times out of 100 more like not many win group 1's as seniors
Plenty races for him with the way he jumped and quickened.
I imagine Hobbs will go Arkle with him as he clearly ran a great race but simply didn't stay.........
