Just over half of the initial starters left the Tony Mills designed ten-fence-track intact to make their way to the jump-off. Six of those combinations went on to pull a double clear out of the bag and seven claimed tickets to the Championships.
Georgie Warden from Hook, Hampshire took the win with Charlotte Crocker’s Ugo Blue, an 11 year-old Irish bred chestnut gelding by Jaguar Mail. They posted a double clear in 34.27 seconds. Susan Le Moucheux was close behind in second place with her own Dungarven Flyer who also jumped a double clear in a time of 35.28 seconds just nipping ahead of Isobel Codd and Mayday XXI who finished just 0.02 of a second slower.
