Paris Snow got off the mark over hurdles with a comfortable win off a low mark at Fontwell Park.
It is always an added pleasure when a horse wins first time out for a new owner, so the success today was especially gratifying.
Paul Mannion has had horses with me before, but from the way he won today, Paris Snow should give him plenty of fun this spring.
He proved a prolific winner for the Ian Williams Racing Club last summer and now that he has found his feet over hurdles, he could enjoy further success.
