DAVID Simpson finished fifth in the four-star 1.55m Grand Prix at Crans Montana in Switzerland last Sunday. Riding Charlotte Platt’s 11-year-old Jenson 55, he was among five clear rounds in the first round, after which the top 10 returned for the jump-off. Simpson faulted once against the clock in a time of 44.70 to slot into fifth place and collect 7,875 CHF.
