Il Etait Temps can make class tell at Clonmel

CLASSY SORT: Il Etait Temps got the better of Jonbon when winning the Celebration Chase at Sandown last April.  Picture: Healy Racing

Il Etait Temps may not be at his best at this time of the season but he is a classy sort and can make it count against his three rivals in the Grade Two Clonmel Oil Chase, the feature of the year at Powerstown Park.

Willie Mullins’ seven-year-old boasts a record of five wins from seven starts over fences, and four of those victories have been at the top level. He missed most of a year prior to his only outing of last season but was clearly none the worse for the break.
