PreviewsThe absence of dual winner Altior due to a late setback paves the way for DEFI DU SEUIL to take his crown. He finished behind Chacun Pour Soi at the Punchestown Festival but that came after a long season which Willie Mullins' chaser had avoided and the dual Festival winner has enjoyed the perfect campaign with victories in the Tingle Creek and the Clarence House. Chacun Pour Soi improved from his seasonal reappearance behind A Plus Tard over the Festive period to win the Dublin Chase at the main expense of Min but he will need to back up a lung-bursting effort in what is arguably a tougher contest. Dynamite Dollars (third) could reverse the form with Sceau Royal (second) from their meeting behind Altior in the Game Spirit as that was his first run for over a year and he is entitled to come on plenty for it.
