Il Etait Temps secured a sixth Grade One in style as he galloped to glory in the Betfair Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown.

The seven-year-old had won six of his previous eight chase starts, including when easily accounting for the reopposing Jonbon in the Celebration Chase over this two-mile course and distance on the final day of last term.
