Renowned course-builder Uliano Vezzani set a long, flowing track for the 36 contenders in the Longines grand prix at the London Global Champions Tour on Saturday (14 August) but it certainly caused its fair share of faults.

One of the toughest lines came early with a two-stride oxer-vertical double set on an open five strides or a short six strides from a triple bar and the oxer fence at 4a proved particularly problematic.
