The latest Defender Burghley Horse Trials withdrawals mean there has been a change of pathfinder for the event (5-8 September), which starts with the first trot-up tomorrow.

Tim Price has withdrawn Jean-Louis Stauffer’s and his own Coup De Coeur Dudevin – the 2022 Maryland 5 Star winner – who was drawn as number one. Dorset-based New Zealand rider Tim will still compete on Viscount Viktor (number 33), owned by Glynn Norcutt, Ginny Rusher and his rider, and his own and the Giannamores’ Vitali, who is the last horse to go as number 83.
