FormscanBy Alan Magee - It may seem strange tipping up a beginners chase winner against two Grade 1 novice winners at the Cheltenham Festival but it was impossible not to be impressed by CHACUN POUR SOI on his Irish debut at Naas. The selection has obviously been difficult to train having been absent for three years but was backed as if defeat was out of the question before putting up a spectacular round of jumping from the front for a facile victory. This will tell us a lot more about where he stands in the two-mile novice chase division. Defi Du Seuil is a rock solid rival having followed up his Scilly Isles win at Sandown by again beating Lostintranslation in the JLT Novices’ Chase. The drop back in trip shouldn’t be a problem with a strong pace looking assured. Duc Des Genievres has certainly come good of late winning well at Gowran Park before taking the Arkle at Cheltenham by all of 13 lengths from Us And Them. That race rather fell apart, although Us And Them again put in a solid effort when finishing much closer to the front-running Ornua in another Grade 1 at Aintree.
