More Willie Mullins dominance awaits - but I would advise caution with one of his standout Sandown winners

There were some lovely performances at Sandown on Saturday, with pride of place going to Il Etait Temps, who showed no signs of rust in the Celebration Chase as he demolished Jonbon with a silky-smooth performance.

Jonbon was unbeaten before that at Sandown, winning five Grade 1 races, and he probably ran to form here, so it was a great performance from Il Etait Temps following a 359-day absence.

If you fancy him for Champion Chase glory next year, he can be backed at 10-1 with bet365. However, caution should be advised as his Cheltenham form is 553 in three festival appearances and he might be better elsewhere.
