Bob bags Melling prize.

Paul Townend has carved out a niche by deputising for Ruby Walsh and he finally gained Grade One recognition in Britain with a wonderfully timed challenge on Boston Bob in the Betfred Melling Chase.
Although he has multiple big-race wins to his name in Ireland, where he was champion jockey in the 2010-11 season through the many rides he received from the Willie Mullins stable, Townend has only struck once at the Cheltenham Festival and this was his first Aintree success.
