The first pair, Harry Meade and Superstition, will be out on course at 11am. The first four go at five-minute intervals, then the riders alternate between four- and five-minute intervals. The final competitor, Tim Price with Vitali, is scheduled to leave the start box at 3.49pm. Harry is the only rider with three horses in the competition, so he also has Cavalier Crystal at 12.40pm and Annaghmore Valoner at 3.45pm.
