Ireland's Tom Wachman became one of the youngest winners ever at the London International Horse Show after taking victory at the Turkish Airlines Grand Prix aboard Do It Easy.

The 20-year from Tipperary produced a faultess first round on the 12-year old gelding in a time of 68.85 seconds and then delivered a clear round in the jump-off in a stunning 32.59.

It continues a stellar year for Wachman - grandson of Coolmore Stud owner John Magnier - who collected the FEI Rising Star award last month.

The Irish rider took top spot on the podium ahead of Canada's Kara Chad and Igor GPH, who clocked 33.64 in the jump-off.

Third place went to Austria's Max Kuhner, the World Cup winner in London this week, who completed the jump-off in 34.14 with his horse Greece 5.

Britain's John Whitaker was pushed into fourth, while Dutch rider Kim Emmen completed the top five.
