IN comparison, the CNCJ* was trouble-free. In the top spot, Jackilynn Breslin clocked up her first win of the year with RLE River Rock (34.8). The Co Wexford rider added just 0.8 time faults to her first phase score to edge ahead of Robbie Kearns and the clean jumping Green Master (36.3) and the recent Tattersalls victors Michael C. Healy and Soverign Guy.

Fresh from winning a bronze medal at the European championships, Zara Nelson and Millridge Buachaill Bui stamped their authority on the CNCP**. Once again, a tight time allowed prevented them from keeping an entirely clean sheet but their score of 36.8 was good enough to better fellow squad member Isabel Persse and Mr Blueskies (41.3) as well as Hannah Adams and Myshall Rodge.
