Lynch shows real class in steering Kotkidy home

ANDREW LYNCH was positively brilliant when guiding French-import Kotkidy to victory in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Beginners Chase atKillarney last night.

Carrying the Sizing Europe colours of Alan and Ann Potts, Kotkidy was particularly keen when making his Irish debut at Punchestown and was dropped out at the back here by the talented Lynch.

He still showed a marked tendency to want to get on with business, but Lynch did a fine job of anchoring the four-year-old, before bringing him with a steady challenge to collar front-running Flag Of Honour after the last.
