TYRONE’S Niamh McEvoy was the sole Irish rider to attend the four-star Morocco Royal Tour fixture at Tetouan in Morocco over the weekend - and what a weekend it was for her! McEvoy took four horses with her - three for the four-star classes, namely Jargon DN, Sevilla van de Berghoeve Z and Rock Warrior, as well as Rock’N’Roll Ter Putte for the two-star classes - and secured multiple wins and placings across the weekend.

Sunday saw great success for the 22-year-old, as McEvoy and the 12-year-old gelding Jargon DN were best of the 39 starters in the four-star 1.45m Winning Round class. Eleven clear rounds from round one booked their place in the ‘winning round’, where just three combinations remained without fault. McEvoy was best of these, jumping double clear in 42.86 - almost a second ahead of runner-up Lorenzo Argentano (ITA) on Dakota Blue Girl (43.71), with Mel Thijssen (NED) on Juice in third (44.49).
