CHACUN POUR SOI is the pick of the two-mile chase division and is firmly expected to make a winning return before he returns to the top level. Stablemate Cash Back is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection underperforms, though Chosen Mate can't be ruled given his last chase outing was an emphatic success in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham.
