Turns out they were never going to run both horses yesterday, Dickie Johnson was declared to ride DDS but from very early yesterday he knew he didn't have a ride.
Defi's jumping was much improved, jumped his hurdles straight and quick, he goes to the Triumph with a favourites chance.
My only nagging doubt is that he hasn't been tested, he's won his races on the bridle and as impressive as his turn of foot is he hasn't been in a battle.
When Geraghty tried getting into him at Chepstow was when he jumped out to his left, I hope that's not a trait develops/continues because he won't be winning every race in his career on the bridle !
That said my confidence has only increased....
