CIAN Goggins and Moira Forbes’ French-bred gelding Valtor De Blagny, by Limbo out of Opale De Blagny, won the penultimate round of the 1.35m Autumn Grand Prix league in Cavan last Saturday.

This is the pair’s first Autumn Grand Prix victory and they secured the top-spot by a large margin of over two-and-a-half seconds. A starting field of 71 lined out for the Jim Derwin-sponsored 1.35m event to take on the Alan Lynch-designed track.
