SUNDAY afternoon in Balmoral Park saw 46 combinations line out to contest the £25,000 Bottle Green-sponsored Plusvital Premier Series.

Clinching the fifth round of the series was Mickey Pender aboard his own Madgeslane Louis. Bred by Pender, the nine-year-old gelding is by Luidam and is out of the OBOS Quality-sired dam Madges Lane Karol. This was the first show for this combination on home soil. The pairing has been jumping on the European circuit and took fourth place in the 1.45m in Hickstead in mid-June.
