DERRY’S David Simpson had a good show at St Tropez-Gassin in France last week, when he secured a number of top-10 placings including a couple of podium finishes.

The best of these was a third place in the five-star Big Tour 1.50m jump-off class, when he rode Ovidius vd Donkhoeve to a double clear round in 37.95 seconds. Julien Epaillard (FRA) on Donatello d’Auge took the win in 35.18, with Italy’s Giacomo Casadei in second on Raffinesse in 35.91.
