      Verdict

      Defi Du Seuil completed his hat-trick in the Triumph Trial at Cheltenham earlier this month and is a smart early-season juvenile. He’d just headed Dino Velvet when that one fell at Cheltenham a month earlier but Alan King’s charge comfortably got off the mark at Sandown next time and has more scope than French import Dolos. All-the-way Aintree winner EVENING HUSH has her fillies’ allowance and she will try and run the finish out of the boys. She’s a real galloper who should be suited by this track and can complete the three-timer.
