Cian O'Connor helped keep up Ireland's weekend run of top ten finishes at the World Cup competition in Leipzig, Germany with a fourth place on Saturday in the 1m45 speed competition.

In a tightly-fought class, the 29-year-old Meath-based rider piloted Castlemartin Stud's 12 year-old Danish-bred gelding Complete across the line in a time of 53.43 seconds, just under a second off the pace of German winner Christian Ahlmann.

O'Connor also had a second place in the show's opening competition on Friday, while fellow Irish rider Jessica Kurten has accounted for a fourth, fifth and sixth place over the last 36 hours.
