HERCULE Du Seuil recorded a second win of the season at Navan on Sunday following the fitting of a tongue-tie. The five-year-old raced enthusiastically at the head of affairs, hurdling fluently before a slight mistake at the last almost opened the door for Imagine (140).

However, to illustrate there was still plenty left in the legs of the J.P. McManus-owned gelding, he picked up again to maintain the three-quarter-length margin to the line as he finished off his race in 44.6secs.
