PAUL Townend gave Grangeclare West (7/2) a well-judged and patient steer to give Willie Mullins yet another victory in the featured BAR 1 Betting Bobbyjo Chase.

Having raced towards the rear, last year’s Grand National third began to pick off rivals up the home straight. Last to come off the bridle, Townend’s mount had moved into second when getting the last wrong but only required a hand ride to get past Gerri Colombe on the run-in.
