Defi Bleu, in the colours of the stable’s chief supporter Gigginstown House Stud, gave Denise Foster her first success since taking over the reins at Cullentra from Gordon Elliott, when turning over odds-on favourite Opposites Attract in the Tomcoole Farm Ltd. Beginners Chase in Wexford.

Foster took over the licence on Tuesday and was getting off the mark with her third runner in the new role as stable-jockey Jack Kennedy was seen at his strongest in keeping Defi Bleu going from the second last to hold the flattering favourite by two and a half lengths.
