WITH a break in the Rolex World Cup series this weekend, Irish riders are heading to Brussels in Belgium for the five-star Audi Masters, with Jessica Kurten, Denis Lynch and Billy Twomey lining out with a total of eight horses between them.

The highlight of the show will be the Audi Masters Grand Prix on Sunday, which offers 150,000 euro in prize money, plus a 50,000 euro Audi car for the winner.

In Dresden in Germany, meanwhile, Mayo's Cameron Hanley competes with four horses, while in Stockholm, Meath-based Cian O'Connor campaigns two horses.

Also in Belgium this weekend, Katie Mai McCarthy, Max O’Reilly Hyland, Emma O’Dwyer, Aoife McDonagh and Bertram Allen compete in the pony classes at the international show at Neeroeteren, while Emily Turkington and Kellie Allen are the Irish entrants in the Junior classes.
