Townend excited by Chacun Pour Soi Paul Townend is looking forward to the ride on Chacun Pour Soi in the featured Ladbrokes Dublin Chase at the Dublin Racing Festival on Saturday as Willie Mullins' gelding bids to follow up last year's win in the race. The nine year old is the 4/9 antepost favourite for Saturday's Grade 1 feature and Townend reports “he was workmanlike in Cork on his first run but improved so much from there to Christmas when he had a real swagger. “He is definitely as good a two-miler as I've ridden; I was lucky enough to have ridden Golden Silver in his career but they are two completely different horses and Chacun is the flashy two-miler that everyone dreams of getting the spin on. “Chacun seems to have 'it', whatever 'it' is and it is what separates the good horses from the very good ones. “His record speaks well for itself at the moment; he is fragile enough but hopefully we can keep him in one piece now.”
