KILDARE’s Sean Monaghan landed victory in the CSI2* Equine Warehouse 1.35m two-phase on Saturday afternoon at Millstreet International. Riding Edmund Simpson’s nine-year-old gelding Klever Kannan (by Kannan, bred by Jimmy Lawler), he was fastest of 36 clear rounds from a huge start list of 71 in a time of 22.37 to take the top prize of €1,312.

It was another hard-fought class, with the top six all coming home within 24 seconds. The runner-up spot was filled by Lt Raphael Lee and the Minister for Defence’s Derrycush (Emerald x Aldalto), who were fractions behind in 22.83. Taking third place was Dylan Ward and Quality Sport Horses’ Lagans Candy Boy, clear in 23.01.
