Ridden by Johnny Mulligan, who works in Clinghan’s Banbridge yard each morning, Ashburton won the ridden display on a score of 106, with judge Catherine Woods writing at the end of her sheet: “That is how a four-year-old should go.”

In common with most others in the class, the mare jumped clear and scored well enough with all three suitability and potential judges to claim the class ahead of Mary Bolger’s A Guidam M gelding Kilcannon Merlin (Jason Higgins) and Willows Sport Horses’ Willows Bravo Flight (Daisy Duggan), a bay gelding by the Cavalier Royale stallion FSS Correlli Bravo.
