Ros Canter has maintained her lead in the Land Rover CCI4*-S after her Bramham Horse Trials showjumping round aboard Izilot DHI. They added just 0.4 of a time-fault to their 23.5 dressage, which means they go forward to the cross-country phase later this afternoon 2.7 penalties ahead of second-placed Oliver Townend and Cooley Rosalent.

“He’s an excellent jumper and I always feel a bit of pressure because I don’t want to let him down, but also he’s never really had big atmospheres before, so I was really happy with how he stayed with me and concentrated,” Ros said after her round with the nine-year-old she co-owns with Alex Moody. “I thought the track was quite clever because it didn’t walk overly complicated, but the distances were quite short and the time was tight and this horse is still learning to bounce, so there’s more to come from him still.”
