REIGNING The Irish Field champion-rider Jamie Codd took the riding honours when partnering a double as the County Roscommon Hunt held their annual fixture at Rockfield last Sunday.

Codd got his afternoon off to the best possible start as he guided the highly-regarded debutant Poli Roi (6/4-5/4F) to a striking success in the opening Kepak four-year-old maiden. Travelling smoothly throughout, the Poliglote-gelding owned by Alan Harte, struck the front after the penultimate obstacle before displaying a withering turn of foot to impressively outpoint fellow newcomer Super Sid by 10 lengths.
