IRELAND’s Denis Lynch showed great turn of speed in last Friday’s feature jump-off class in Doha, Qatar, but failed by just over half a second to claim the €50,000 winner’s prize.

The Tipperary rider did, however, pick up €30,000 for his runner-up spot aboard Thomas Straumann’s 11-year-old talented bay All Star 5 in a competitive class that also saw fellow countryman Mark McAuley in the prize money with a seventh place on Isco De Amoranda.
