THE Nigrasine gelding Nigra Flight made his third Eventing Ireland appearance on Saturday and his third at Killossery Lodge Stud where each time his performance has improved. He finished fourth on this occasion under Emma Jackson.

The brown five-year-old had narrowly failed to qualify for the young event horse class at Dublin the previous Thursday when problems in the Derby arena during the Young Event-horse Series (YES) qualifier at Tattersalls neutralised his good marks in the ridden display and those for suitability and potential.
