Cheltenham result: Defi Du Seuil beats rival Lostintranslation to win the JLT Novices' Chase

Defi Du Seuil scored his second Cheltenham Festival success as he got the better of old rival Lostintranslation in the JLT Novices' Chase.

Philip Hobbs' 2017 Triumph Hurdle hero, out of form throughout last season, has been a revelation over fences after a sticky start to the current campaign at this course.

Defi Du Seuil was also beaten by Lostintranslation in the Dipper Novices' Chase at Cheltenham on New Year's Day.

But having since gained revenge at Sandown, in the opening race on day three of the Festival, the six-year-old justified 3-1 favouritism under Barry Geraghty - pouncing on long-time leader Lostintranslation at the last and staying on to win by two and a quarter lengths.
