NIAMH Verkade and Michael Ryan’s The Outlaw ran out the winners of the EI110(J) at Kilguilkey on their debut at the level, despite posting the slowest cross-country time in the five-runner class. Adding 13.2 time penalties to their dressage score of 28, they finished on 41.2, comfortably clear of runners-up Gilby Monaghan and A Touch OF Frost on 43.3. Dressage leaders Laragh Byrne and LA Saurian Cavalier, also first timers at the level, finished in eventual third after incurring 12 faults in the show jumping arena.

Grace Murphy scored her first win under Eventing Ireland rules, when she led from pillar to post in the EI100(J) riding KEC Arctic Maxi, an eight-year-old mare by KEC Maximum Joe. This combination finished on their dressage score of 28.8, as did second-placed Megan Adams and Corranvale Arabella (30.5). Having initially sat in second, Lilymai Walsh dropped to third with the Irish Draught Chapel Hill Rose after finishing five seconds over the optimum time in the final phase for an eventual score of 32.3.
