THE six-year-old ‘Cruising’ National Championship at the RDS last Sunday was a memorable day for breeders Aidan and Ray Carroll as two home-breds topped the leaderboard.

It was Kayleigh Soden’s CBI Bella Donna who was guided to victory by Vincent Byrne when fastest in the 10-way jump-off and one of just four combinations to produce a double-clear round from a start list of 37. They saw off Shane Goggins and CBI Karhari who claimed the runner-up position.
