IRISH riders continued to impress during the second week of the Vilamoura champions tour in Portugal, with Jack Dodd and Philip Carey the stand-out performers. Dodd finished third with Izzy By Picobello in last Thursday’s seven-year-old class in Vilamoura, while he also took seventh place with GK Casper.

Later the same day, Dodd finished ninth in the six-year-old class riding Etoile De Loma, while he also took seventh place in a 1.35m class aboard Wrangler II.
