Paul Townend: Quais De Paris my best ride in opener at Tramore
Published:
Top jockey and Ladbrokes ambassador Paul Townend is spending New Year’s Day at Tramore where he has three rides.
He had a run over hurdles in France already, where he was third. Willie isn’t afraid to bring a decent one down for that race. We are really looking forward to getting that one going.
Henry De Bromhead’s Atimetodream is the main danger. He was third in a maiden hurdle. Irish Point gave that form a good boost when he was runner-up in the Royal Bond. It won’t be a walk in the park but we like our horse a lot. I think he is my best ride of the day.
He is one from one for us in bumpers. He’s a well related horse so we are looking forward to getting him started over jumps.
It will be a tough ask for him with Minella Indo a Gold Cup winner. We are delighted with him at home and looking forward to getting his season started. He was a progressive horse over fences last year and we think he will be very good over fences this year. We will obviously know more after this. It is a nice place to start him off.
