Swail arrives in Millstreet back in running for Premier Series

CONOR SWAIL travels to Millstreet this week for its annual horse show hoping he can continue the run of form that has seen him challenge for the Citroen ShowjumpingIreland Premier Series.

The Co Down rider has won the last two outings with Glen Leddy’s Gold Digger, having returned from an injury-enforced lay off and last week he again showed he is at his peak when only tipped off by world number seven Jessica Kürten in the power and speed class at Dublin Horse Show.

After his first win last month in Tattersalls, Co Meath — where he had almost two seconds to spare — he said: “This puts me back in the game as far as the Premier Series is concerned ... it’s all to play for now.”
