In the Grade III competition, Katie Reilly and Keystone Dawn Chorus led an Irish one-two-three thanks to a strong, fluid test highlighted by exceptional leg yields and salutes, finishing on 70.778%. Kate Kerr-Horan and Lykkebo’s Don Akino were second here and in third was Jessica McKenna and DCI Cerruti, who presented a confident and steady test, with strong marks in salutes, medium trots and rein backs.
