Tim Price bookends the Defender Burghley Horse Trials draw for the event next month (5-8 September).

The New Zealand rider is the pathfinder on the 2022 Maryland 5 Star winner Coup De Coeur Dudevin and also sets off last on Vitali (number 83). The latter was the dressage leader, setting a new event record, last year so having him as the final horse to go will ensure suspense until the end of the first phase – and quite possibly cross-country day if he holds top spot after dressage again. Tim also has Viscount Viktor in the middle of the draw at number 33.
