FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Top-class fare and CHACUN POUR SOI is chosen to resume winning ways. Sent off odds-on for the Champion Chase after three convincing wins on home soil, he came to win his race at the last but for whatever reason couldn’t sustain his effort up the hill. If back to his best he can reverse Cheltenham form with Nube Negra. This one probably should have won on that occasion when, after a slight stumble at the last, he flew late on to be a closing second to Put The Kettle On. Ground and this relatively flat track will suit the Skelton runner who looks a big player. Allaho was outstanding in the Ryanair when his lung-bursting display of front-running ‘broke’ several talented rivals. This drop in trip is not sure to suit and it would be a surprise if that huge effort last time has not left some sort of a mark on him.
