Made In Taipan Excellent at Naas The Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Beginners Chase was a strong heat and it saw an impressive winner, Made In Taipan, who jumped well on his chasing bow and picked off the game front-running mare, Coscorrig, who had managed to burn off the rest of the opposition, before understandably tiring into third. An understandably happy winning trainer, Tom Mullins said: "We didn't get much schooling into him and we decided to come here for his first chase because it's left-handed. He is an exciting prospect and he jumped magnificently. He is entered at Cheltenham next weekend but it is doubtful whether he'll go there, but we'll go there some day." Davy Russell's mount, who accounted for Jaamid by seventeen lengths, got a 25/1 quote for the Arkle Chase from Cashmans. (EM)
