Tamarillo finished seventh behind Caroline on his first run for nearly a year, while William Fox-Pitt was also third on Parkmore Ed in OI section V. In this section, Nicola Wilson (née Tweddle) grabbed the top two spots with Opposition Buzz and Don’t Underestimate.

Vet Caroline Edwards took the final open intermediate section with her own Sandy Lane II, ahead of Oliver Townend riding Coup De Coeur.
