Townend returns tomorrow Jockeys' Championship Leader Paul Townend is to make his comeback at Ballinrobe tomorrow, with three strong rides for Champion Trainer Willie Mullins. Townend is set to partner Rattan in the opening Western People Maiden Hurdle, Wee Giant in the Treacy's Pharmacy Hurdle and Killultagh Queen in the Roundfort Stores Beginners Chase. Speaking today, Townend stated "I saw specialist Tadgh O'Sullivan today and everything is A1 and hopefully I'll have a bit of luck tomorrow. The collarbone seems perfect." Townend, who fractured his collarbone in a fall from Indian Buck at Navan on March 26, leads Davy Russell 76-71 at the head of the Jump Jockeys' Championship. Thomas Weekes
