MAYO’s Cormac Hanley has been in top form since taking over the ride on Rushy Marsh Farm’s 12-year-old stallion RMF Chacco Top, and proved that again last weekend when runner-up in the three-star $137,000 CaptiveOne Advisors Grand Prix behind American veteran Margie Engle.

The combination were the pathfinders in the nine-horse jump-off and set the standard of 37.52 which held until the end with Engle and the brilliant 17-year-old stallion Royce were just under a second quicker to earn the top prize of $40,000.

Hanley earned $24,000 for his runner-up finish, while Paul O’Shea slotted into third place with his great partner Skara Glen’s Machu Picchu, just fractions slower in 37.72 seconds to pick up $18,000.
