NIAMH McEvoy won her fifth Plusvital Premier Grand Prix of 2025 in Tattersalls last Sunday. The remarkable young rider guided the Keith Ennis-owned Olympic GI Fvd, an 11-year-old Belgian-bred gelding into the top spot as the fastest of only three double clears in the 26-combination strong class.

She has now won five of the six Premiers this season. Speaking after her win, McEvoy told The Irish Field: “We’re absolutely thrilled with the win. I think I made up the time from one to two where I did the eight strides, it was usually a nine. My horse has a really big stride, maybe I was a bit quicker to the last fence also.
