PLACED second in the opening round of the Mervue Equine Leinster Tour in Barnadown in July, Capt. Geoff Curran and Dowth Hall returned to take the win in the 1.35m division at Barndown last weekend.

Some 87 went to post in the competitive MSK Silversands-sponsored class and of those, just 12 delivered double clears. Going midway in the draw, Curran kept the pressure on and came home in 29.16 seconds to take the win.
