CATHAL Daniels claimed the EI100J from the front with HTS Tommy K (by Rhyne Clover). Winners of a similar class at Grove last time out, they headed Eleanor Cunningham riding Carol Gee’s first timer Limmerick Light, as well as Alice Copithorne aboard another debutante, Ballynoecastle Maybe.

Two well-known horses and their new junior riders also featured in the line-up, namely fourth-placed Ballylynch Sky High ridden by Alison Crampton, and the former Fred Scala ride Double Dashing, partnered by Eleanor Cunningham.
