Bachasson wins the big one at Tramore

Bachasson earned a 20/1 quote for the Ryanair Chase as he completed a Tramore double for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend in the featured Listed Savills "A Different Outlook" Chase.
Paddy Power go that price first show about the Edward O'Connell-owned grey after he beat A Toi Phil by thirteen lengths.
There were all of forty one lengths back to the only other finisher, Champagne West (last year's winner of the event). He made a mistake at the ninth.
Mullins and Townend had earlier been on the mark with another short-priced favourite — Deal d'Estruval in the 1.05.
"He backed up his run at Thurles I suppose. He jumped super, and the only resemblance of a mistake he made was at the last when he was a bit lonely and tired. It's very heavy ground out there and you couldn't be happier with the way he done it," reported Townend.
"He is a forward going horse and he knows what he is at. He is quick to the other side of his fences. He is a much stronger horse this year, and has filled in to himself. He is doing nothing wrong and is going the right way."
The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Lord Scoundrel trained by Gordon Elliott, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be stiff post race.
