Pat Taaffe, grandson of the legendary rider of Arkle, rode his first winner at Downpatrick on Monday for his father Tom and COTTIE looks another for the combination. Runner-up to the odds-on Shewearsitwell at Galway, the form was boosted when the winner easily completed a double at Sligo and the daughter of Yeats will be unlucky to come up against one of her quality. More Info finished fourth at Galway and looks held but Visionarian made a successful debut between the flags at Knockmullen House last November. Bacchus Lescribaa is from a family of winning jumpers in France and looks one for the future.
