Il Etait Temps, who is owned by the Hollywood Syndicate and the Kieswetter’s Barnane Stud, is behind Marine Nationale in the Arkle Chase betting despite having beaten him in the Irish Arkle.

The Gr 1 event is to be run on the Cheltenham Festival’s first day on Tuesday 12 March.

Irish Arkle winners have a good record in the Arkle at Cheltenham and in fact last year’s Irish Arkle winner El Fabiolo went on to win the Arkle at Cheltenham.

El Fabiolo, like Il Etait Temps, is also trained by Willie Mullins.

Mullins is going for a fifth successive win of the Arkle at the Chaltenham Festival.

He has won the race a record ten times.
