Competing for Ireland in the Hartpury three star in 2018 was a pivotal moment for Michael Murphy as he was returning to the sport for the first time in three years, after struggling with motivation after the loss of his eldest brother James in a kayaking accident in New Zealand in 2015.
Murphy qualified for Tokyo on his previous horse, Skjoldsgaard Hipp-vo, but has partnered Cleverboy since before those Games and will aim to maintain some outstanding recent form at Paris.
