IRELAND’S Denis Lynch and Cordial won the one-star 1.30m jump-off class at Sentower Park, Opglabbeek on Sunday, when riding a double clear round in a jump-off time of 29.02 seconds. There were 27 starters in the class, with just eight jumping clear in round one to proceed to the jump-off, where five combinations kept all the fences intact for a second time.

In a very close finish, the top three were within a whisker of each other - Lynch’s closest challenger was Norway’s Benedikte Serigstad Endresen on Little Girl du Plein Vent, who stopped the clock in 29.34. The podium was completed by Belgium’s Brecht Goossens on Quinin V/H Dingenshof (29.60).
