Chacun Pour Soi claims Ladbrokes Dublin Chase hat-trick at Leopardstown

Chacun Pour Soi bounced back to form to complete a hat-trick of victories in the Ladbrokes Dublin Chase at Leopardstown.

Willie Mullins' runner was on a retrieval mission after proving a bitter disappointment when last in the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown in December.

However, back on familiar ground at Leopardstown, Chacun Pour Soi comprehensively reversed the form with Tingle Creek winner Greaneteen as he strolled to victory under Paul Townend.

The 4-7 favourite was content to take a lead from Dunvegan in the early stages, while Bryony Frost elected to take the inside route in Greaneteen, racing alone throughout the Grade One heat.

He was clearly in trouble at the third-last though as Chacun Pour Soi started to move through the gears, with Dunvegan and Captain Guinness trying to go with him.

But Chacun Pour Soi was just too good and he was well clear coming to the last, with a fine leap sealing an impressive return to winning ways.

Dunvegan was second with Captain Guinness third, with Greaneteen dropping right away to finish last of the five runners.

Galopin Des Champs dominated his rivals to land a spectacular success in the Ladbrokes Novice Chase.

Willie Mullins' charge was sent off the 4-9 favourite after an impressive chasing bow at the Dublin track over Christmas - and victory barely looked in doubt from a distance out in the two-mile-five-furlong Grade One feature.
