Il Etait Temps rules supreme with Punchestown-Cheltenham double

Il Etait Temps again demonstrated his class as he won at the highest level for the eighth time in adding the William Hill Champion Chase at the Punchestown Festival to his two-mile crown from Cheltenham.

Marine Nationale - who completed the same double 12 months ago - took the field along in company with Majborough, with Paul Townend happy to drop the Willie Mullins-trained Il Etait Temps in the middle of the five runners.
