At each leg of this year’s series there has been €9,500 in prize money on offer from Horse Sport Ireland and at Tattersalls there will be a grand total prize fund of €13,500 up for grabs. As at the other legs, there will be €3,500 for the five-year-old classes, €3,000 for the six-year-old classes and €3,000 for the seven-year-old classes. In addition, there will be €1,500 in league prizes and €2,550 in breeders’ prizes on offer.

The seven-year-old league has already been decided as Harold McGahern’s Rincoola Rua (ISH) and Edward Butler are now unbeatable but it is all to play for in the five-year-old and six-year-old leagues.
