Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo was back with a bang at Tramore

Last seen following Kemboy home in the Punchestown Gold Cup, the son of Buck’s Boum got back on the scoresheet with an impressive performance in Tramore’s biggest race.

Paul Townend took up the running from an early stage and never looked in any danger as his mount tanked through the contest – before dispatching stablemate Acapella Bourgeois with ease.

“We hoped today something out of the ordinary wouldn’t happen. Paul was very positive on him and made him work, and I was very happy with that.

“We might do what we did last year and go straight to Cheltenham.”
