CATHAL Daniels dominated in the largest class at Kilguilkey, when he finished first, second and fourth of the 26 runners in the EI110. All bar one of the top six combinations maintained clean sheets throughout the jumping phases, and that one happened to be dressage leaders, Nicky Roncoroni and Carrigshawn Ebony.

The 1.6 show jumping time penalties they added to their first phase score of 29.8 were enough to open the door for Daniels, while still enabling them to stay ahead of his own fourth-placed ride, CDS Maple Syrup (32).
