Vistogrand and Denis Lynch Denis have been chosen for the Irish team for the Nations Cup of Great Britain

The Underwriting Exchange Irish Show Jumping team have been drawn sixth of eight Nations to jump in the Agria Jumping Nations Cup of Great Britain.

With the Paris Olympics now just days away, Ireland are hoping to go in on a high and Michael Blake has selected a strong quartet for the competition.

Denis Lynch joins Tom and Max Wachman, with Cian O’Connor anchoring as Ireland bid to go one better than last year’s runner-up finish.

Horse Sport Ireland High Performance Show Jumping Director Blake has chosen the following combinations:

  • Denis Lynch with Vistogrand
  • Max Wachman with Kilkenny (ISH)
  • Tom Wachman with Berlux Z
  • Cian O’Connor with Fermoy

Earlier this week, Blake said: “We were just pipped last year by a strong Britain team and I’m anticipating a similar strong showing from them again but we have a strong team and I’m hopeful of another strong performance.”

The action begins at 2.15pm and Horse Sport Ireland will keep you up to date on its social media channels.
