Ireland's Captain David O'Brien took the honours at the two-star show in Dunkerque, France on Sunday with a win in the Small Grand Prix.

O'Brien and Newmarket Girl stopped the clock just fractions of a
second ahead of Britain's Hannah Paul to claim victory, while fellow Army Equitation School rider Captain Shane Carey had one fence down with Cashla Bay in the jump-off to finish in eighth position.

Meanwhile, Mayo's Cameron Hanley was unable to repeat Saturday's jump-off win when competing in Sunday's World Cup class at Oslo, Norway, but still managed a creditable fifth place and a €7,000 prize purse with the help of his ten year-old grey stallion SIEC Livello.

The 34-year-old rider jumped a double clear round in the competition, but was just over three seconds off the pace of Swedish winner Helena Lundback.

Meath-based Cian O'Connor and Complete took a fourth place in the Fristil 1m45 Final class, which was won by Denmark's
Linnea Ericsson.
