Thu 6th Nov

Formscan By Michael Graham - The 169-rated IL ETAIT TEMPS can take this on the way to a possible tilt at the Tingle Creek in Sandown. He has won five of his seven races over fences including four at Grade One level. He goes well fresh and should make light of an absence since April when he landed the Grade One Celebration Chase in Sandown. His stablemate, Gentleman de Mee, is weighted to make a race of it. He was last seen finishing fourth in a Grade 2 on the same Sandown card in April. He doesn't have the same strike rate over fences, but is a worthy opponent. Senecia and former Irish Grand National winner Intense Raffles may have to tussle for third place.
