DARRYL WALKER won his first Spring Tour Grand Prix in Cavan last Sunday. Partnering the nine-year-old mare Cushions, the Dublin native set the pace early on in the 20-strong jump-off at a blistering 44.18 seconds.

Less than a second separated the top-three finishers; Susan Fitzpatrick and Cavalino were runners up in 44.76, while Jordan Coyle and VDL Cassius were third in 44.86.
