SORCHA Hennessy’s Dothraki Warlord and Derek McConnell won Saturday’s feature class in Balmoral, The Underwriting Exchange 1.40m National Grand Prix.

The eight-year-old gelding by Mermus R, out of Tiamo Diamant (Diamant De Semilly), has collected points this year at previous rounds in JAG, Cavan and Killossery but this is his first Grand Prix win and, according to Hennessy, there should be plenty more in the youngster’s future.
