Taurus Bay dents some lofty reputations in Rising Stars

Harry Redknapp could have another top prospect on his hands after Taurus Bay made a winning chasing debut in the Boodles Rising Stars Novices’ Chase at Aintree.A lot of the pre-race chatter revolved around Paul Nicholls’ No Drama This End making his eagerly-awaited fences bow and he was sent off the 8-11 favourite.However, Ben Pauling’s five-year-old was a more than useful hurdler in his own right last term and always seen as more of a chasing prospect.With No Drama This End’s tank flashing empty on the run to the last it was left to Ben Jones on board Taurus Bay to outbattle the match-fit Dan Skelton runner Talk To The Man after the last, edging a one-and-a-quarter-length verdict at odds of 13-2.With Redknapp and Pauling’s King George hero The Jukebox Man currently sidelined with injury, Taurus Bay could very much fill the void in the silks of the former West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur manager as the season progresses, having scooped Grade Two honours at the first attempt over fences.
