CHACUN Pour Soi resumed winning ways in the Grade 1 Ladbrokes Dublin Chase at Leopardstown.
Willie Mullins’ lightly-raced eight-year-old looked a potential superstar when beating Defi Du Seuil at Punchestown last spring.
He did not reappear until Christmas, when he was surprisingly beaten by Henry de Bromhead’s A Plus Tard and a rematch was on the cards.

However, A Plus Tard was a late absentee as De Bromhead felt the ground was too quick to run his charge and when Mullins’ Cilaos Emery departed at the first fence, Chacun Pour Soi’s task was further eased.
His main danger was stable companion Min, winner of the race for the past two seasons, but Paul Townend’s mount breezed past him at the second last before keeping up to his work for a three-and-three-quarter-length win as the 6/5 favourite.
