European champion Nicolas Touzaint (pictured) is among the latest riders to sign up for Express Eventing.

France’s leading eventer is one of four more stars to confirm their attendance at the new competition at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, on 30 November.

The others are Germany’s former European champion Bettina Hoy, Sweden’s double World Cup winner Linda Algotsson and America’s Buck Davidson.

Twenty eventers have now signed up for the event, the expected number of competitors, although Express Eventing’s Helen Barklam said today that organisers are still speaking to a few more riders.
