Tingle Creek Chase: Cheshire Cat-astrophe for Jonbon Owners
The Betfair Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown has pitted two-time winner Il Etait Temps against a resurgent Jonbon in a battle of wits and wills. The horse that was supposed to be the favorite, Jonbon, is now a 7/2 outsider, sparking heated debate among the trio about who should win.
Sam Boswell from BetVictor remains optimistic about Jonbon's chances, despite his subpar performance at Cheltenham. Boswell believes that one more run will reignite the spark in Jonbon and make him the horse to beat. However, Kate Tracey from The Weekend Winners team is not convinced, having ridden Il Etait Temps on multiple occasions.
For Tracey, Il Etait Temps embodies the qualities of a top-class chaser: compact size, athleticism, and unwavering consistency. Although his opponent wears headgear, Tracey argues that it's an advantage for Jonbon, allowing them to eke out every last bit of speed.
Declan Rix from At The Races takes a different stance, focusing on Il Etait Temps' ability to perform under different conditions. The forward-going horse thrives in wetter ground and wears a hood to enhance his chances. Rix is concerned that the worsening weather could affect Jonbon's performance, while Il Etait Temps will remain at its best.
As the three experts disagree, one thing remains clear: Il Etait Temps is the hot favorite to take down Jonbon in the Tingle Creek Chase. The question on everyone's mind now is whether the diminutive horse can back up his talent and win over the doubters.

. You got your three pundits, each with their own opinion, trying to convince us that Jonbon (or Il Etait Temps) is the real deal. But what really gets my goat is how quickly opinions can shift like the weather 
. One minute Jonbon's a 2/1 favorite, and the next he's an 7/2 underdog 
.
️. He's like the reliable middle-of-the-road choice that you can count on to get the job done.
. It's all about entertainment and who gets to go home with the trophy 
. The real debate should be about how we fund these events and ensure that the horses are treated fairly 
.
. I think the real question is whether Jonbon's trainers can tweak his performance to make him more competitive without over-relying on headgear 
. Can they crack the code? Maybe the experts will have to wait and see who'll come out on top 
.
. Don't get me wrong, Jonbon's got a good chance of coming back strong, but Il Etait Temps just seems so consistent and reliable. Plus, Tracey's right about the headgear thing - it's like an extra boost for Jonbon! 
. Can't wait to see how it all plays out on Saturday! 
both Il Etait Temps and Jonbon have such a strong track record, it's gonna be so hard to pick a winner! 
his ability to thrive in wetter ground is everything right now. plus, his compact size and athleticism are just so impressive 
Also, what's with all the "expert" opinions 
? Kate Tracey rides Il Etait Temps multiple times, but that doesn't make her a betting guru 
. And Declan Rix says Il Etait Temps thrives in wet weather, but hasn't he been saying that about Jonbon too? 
The forecast is looking grim for Jonbon, I'll give him that 
. Those experts are all talking about Il Etait Temps like he's this unstoppable force, but what if I told you that Jonbon's hood is actually a clever trick to hide his true form? 
Like, think about it, Declan Rix says the hood makes Jonbon more effective in wet conditions, but what if that's just a cover for something else? 
.
We'll see about that...
I think its gonna be a crazy race, anyone who thought Jonbon was done after Cheltenham has been proved wrong 
but at the same time, Il Etait Temps is just so consistent and well-tailored to the track 
I don't know if Im fully convinced that Jons speed will make up for his lack of experience on Sandown its gonna be a real Cheshire Cat-astrophe for whoever loses 
sam says jonbon needs one more run to get going but kate is all like no way il etait temps has the skills!!! 
i feel for jonbon 
. what if the weather really does affect jonbon's performance tho? 
. So, yaaas, let Il Etait Temps do his thing! He's got this 
They're always trying to be something they're not, like Jonbon who thought wearing headgear would make him a speed demon 
Anyway, I've got my money on Il Etait Temps, he's proven himself time and time again 
Bring it on, Jonbon! 
What really gets me excited is that Il Etait Temps has been consistently awesome under different conditions. That hood of his is pure genius! I'm all about the dark horses (get it?), and this little guy's got my money on him 
!
Still got a feeling about this one...
