In a field of 40 starters, the top 13 placed combinations heading into the cross country phase added no jumping penalties in the show jumping, with five combinations – including Stuart Tinney on both of his rides – adding minor time penalties. With less than 10 penalties separating the top 13 as they head into Cross Country, the scene is set for a thrilling day of action.

In the CCI2*-S class, Samuel Fasher Fasher and Sulitanos are in the lead after dressage and show jumping on a score of 28.50 penalties ahead of Stuart Tinney and Sir Pepper on 30.40.
