RELAND’S Ciaran Nallon was in impeccable form at the five-star Longines Global Champions Tour fixture at St Tropez in France last week, which ran from Thursday until Saturday.

Nallon partnered the nine-year-old gelding Megalon K to win Friday’s 1.50m Prix PremiuMares jump-off class. The starting field of 43 produced 16 first-round clears, with eight combinations keeping all the jumps standing after round two. Germany’s Katrin Eckermann had set the time to beat at 34.90 seconds, after a determined round with a breathtaking turnback. Nallon was in next. He and his equine partner gave it their all and they stopped the clock in 34.77 to claim the win.
