ROUNDING off a most successful event with an Irish victory, 14-year-old Ava Banahan and Rathnaleen Dark Secret gained their first international success in the CIC1* ponies.

Leading the 11 runners from pillar to post on a score of 45.8, the Curragh-based pair dominated all three phases to pip Jennifer Kuehnle with Fernhill Timbacktoo as well as Hannah Adams with Myshall Rodge.
