This week Portugal hosts a round of the Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) as the action moves to the coastal venue of Estoril. Irish riders Bertram Allen, Michael Duffy, Denis Lynch, Darragh Kenny, and Mark McAuley will all be in the hunt for individual purses as well as appearances for their respective Global Champions League (GCL) teams.

Jessica Kurten racked up the best Irish result so far at this weekend's five star show in Madrid, Spain when taking second place this morning in the 1m40 speed class with her new nine-year-old chestnut mare Kalande de Grez.
