Anticipation building ahead of Al Boum Photo's Tramore return Champion jockey Paul Townend is looking forward to reuniting himself with dual Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo in the Savillls Chase at Tramore on New Year’s Day. It is a tried and tested formula and the pair have won the race at Tramore for the last two years, before going on to win the Gold Cup at Cheltenham. "I'd suppose it's tried and tested now so why change it," reasoned Townend. "That time of year you're guaranteed a bit of safe ground down there. It's worked the last two years and we'll be hoping it works a third time. "He was pulled out in Leopardstown because of the ground (2018) and he went down to Tramore - it suited, the race was there. "He got his ground down there. It was fine, it suited me that he went into the Gold Cup under the radar. "There was a little bit more pressure last year. It's working and please God it can work again."
