WATERFORD’s Nicholas Connors got the ball rolling for the Irish at the two-star show in Lier, Belgium, last week when he took second place in Thursday’s 1.30m with Just Jump. Isabel Fitzpatrick and Fourth Of July finished down the line in eight place.

Connors returned the following day to take victory in the 1.20 aboard the 12-year-old Master Imp-sired mare, just ahead of Kayleigh Soden and Juliana.
