TAIPAN, trained by John Dunlop and ridden by Pat Eddery, revelled in the soft ground when beating Camporese in yesterday's Grand Prix de Deauville. The victory continued Eddery's great run following his three-timer at Sandown on Saturday.

Camporese's trainer, Peter Chapple-Hyam, had earlier seen his two-year-old filly Woodland Melody maintain her unbeaten record when winning the Group Three Prix du Calvados.
