Il Etait Temps recent form: analyst notes

  • Pos 1 28 Apr Punchestown

    Shared the front early - lost pace after stumbling at 3rd - back in 4th by halfway - up to 3rd four out - into 2nd approaching two out - clouted that pole but regained command and stayed on strongly from the last

  • Pos 1 11 Mar Cheltenham

    Settled in the pack - moved through easily to hit the front 2 out - opened a gap approaching the last and stumbled slightly there - driven out to hold on strongly to the line

  • Pos F 17 Jan Ascot

    Settled at the back early - moved across left before the 5th - untidy over the 7th and 9th - still in contention 10th - up to challenge the pace-setter 3 out - pressed for effort soon after - slipped to third and fell 2 out

  • Pos 1 6 Dec Sandown

    Settled handy in the chasing pack - moving well to challenge 3 out - in front 2 out and quickly drew away - nudged along on the run-in to score with something in hand
