Laura Collett has taken second place in the Chedington CCI4*-L with the experienced Mr Bass, 0.5 of a penalty behind Nicola.
William Fox-Pitt and Ros Canter both did strong tests this afternoon to slot into 11th and 13th, while Kitty King withdrew Cristal Fontaine after a performance that would have left her 10th.

Yasmin Ingham was the last rider to go in the under-25 CCI4*-L and shot to the top after scoring 26.9 with last year’s British eight- and nine-year-old champion Banzai Du Loir.
