News in Brief
Defi Du Seuil and Un De Sceaux do battle for Clarence House
Defi Du Seuil and Un De Sceaux are the two star names among five runners declared for the Matchbook Clarence House Chase at Ascot.

High praise from Knight’s Young Darling
Young Darling drew high praise after an impressive winning debut in the bumper at Newbury with former trainer Henrietta Knight drawing favourable comparison with her three-time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Best Mate. Knight said: “He’s the best I’ve had since Best Mate. I am excited by this horse.”
