AL BOUM PHOTO turned heads with an impressive win on his first outing of the season.
Back on the racecourse for the first time since April 2018, Willie Mullins’ seven-year-old was a six-length winner in a high-class renewal of the Savills Chase at Tramore.
Sent off the 2/1 favourite in the hands of Ruby Walsh, Al Boum Photo quickened up with two to jump in the 2m5f chase and then pulled clear after the last.
Total Recall (5/1) followed him home in second place, with Invitation Only (6/1) a further 16 lengths back to make it a 1-2-3 for Mullins.

Nicky Henderson’s On The Blind Side, sent off the 9/4 favourite, never looked right and trotted up a distant fourth.
