IL ETAIT TEMPS is now unbeaten in his last 7 completed starts, a wide-margin winner of this race last year before going on to success at both Cheltenham and Punchestown in the spring, and he is hard to oppose on his return. Stablemate Kappa Jy Pyke can be the one to give the selection most to think about, Willie Mullins having won the last 4 renewals of this Grade 2.
