Any interior wall is probably pretty good for chasing from the roof down. If it is an interior wall above the basement, you're golden. I have 2 such walls in my Cougar.
I just chased a cable for solar from roof to basement that way, and a serial cable for a monitor from basement to near the control panel up a different wall. Couldn't have been easier.
I already had a wire fish tape. I went to Harbor Freight and bought a set of fiberglass rods also for fishing wires. It is a set of about 10 pieces, each a foot long, and they screw together to create whatever length you need. In some cases these work better than a coil fish tape, because they naturally want to stay straight, but flex if you need it. Less than $10 for the set.
I wouldn't even try it in an exterior wall.
