IRISH rider Sarah Ennis has been installed as the early favourite to win The Irish Field CCI*** at the Tattersalls International Horse Trials next weekend by Equiratings, the eventing statistics experts.

A strong opening dressage score will be needed to win the class at the Meath international event, according to number crunchers Sam Watson and Diarmuid Byrne, and Meath native Ennis has a strong profile in this regard.
