THE Irish team has been named for the second Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup of the season which takes place tomorrow, Sunday at Ocala in Florida.

Irish Development team manager Michael Blake will be hoping to repeat the victory his team achieved at the same venue in 2017.

Ireland have been drawn first to jump in the competition which gets under way in Ocala at 6pm Irish time and will line out as follows:

  • Derry's Daniel Coyle with Cita - owned by Ariel Grange
  • Limerick's Paul O'Shea with Skara Glen's Machu Picchu - owned by Skara Glen's Stables
  • Offaly's Darragh Kenny with Go Easy De Muze - owned by Whiterock Farm
  • Meath's Cian O'Connor with Clenur - owned by Armin Himmelreich
  • O'Connor and Clenur scored a sixth place finish in Friday's $265,000 Grand Prix in Ocala which was won by Australian rider Rowan Willis with Blue Movie.

    Ireland's first points-scoring Nations Cup in Europe Division 1 will come at Samorin (SVK) in April, followed by La Baule (FRA), Falsterbo (SWE), Hickstead (GBR) and their home Nations Cup at the Dublin Horse Show in August.
