Kate Kenwright and her lovely mount Marley (18) were third at the RDS amateur qualifier at Tipperary but unfortunately, due to the rules criteria are not going to Dublin after all as their sixth show is two weeks outside the new deadline. However, it was still a fantastic achievement for this gallant horse and rider who were one of only six clears in the third round out of 112 combinations! \ Jane Emilly Potter Jumpinaction.net
