This year’s Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials draw has been released for the event running 1-4 September and Oliver Townend will be the pathfinder.

Oliver has five horses entered for Burghley, of which only three can run. He has been drawn in the number one slot with As Is and number two with Ballaghmor Class, but the news this morning that he has been selected for the eventing World Championships with Ballaghmor Class confirms that As Is will lead the way at Burghley.
