Held at Boswell Equestrian, some new combinations on the circuit gained momentum, including Mullybrannon Diamond, owned by Maire Springate and ridden by her daughter Sadhbh, who took the 158cms novice working hunter. 

Two other very experienced ponies with new jockeys this season also recorded a great start to the season. One was 143cms open working hunter, Another Mercury, owned by Polly Lacey and ridden by daughter Chloe, while the other was Jane Hancock’s 133cms Burghley Gold Cup winner, Dun For Now, ridden this season by Sadhbh Stassin.
