Chacun Pour Soi is the clear favourite for the
Queen Mother Champion Chase after his victory in Cork’s Hilly Way Chase
Altior’s much-anticipated return to action was unexpectedly postponed on Saturday but Chacun Pour Soi made no mistake on his seasonal debut in Cork’s Hilly Way Chase on Sunday, cementing his position as the clear favourite for the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in March as he did so.
Chacun Pour Soi is now top-priced at 3-1 to win the two-mile championship at the Festival, from 4-1 overnight, having been well in command in Sunday’s Grade Two contest when his closest pursuers, Cash Back and Djingle, departed at the final fence. Both horses and their jockeys emerged unscathed.
