David went on to make it a double on Brian's consistent horse Sir Michael III, who was scoring his second win at as many shows after returning from a long break following a virus. The horse's problems started when Brian had taken him over to Barcelona to contest a Veterans International in Spain last year, but he looks to have fully regained his form. David also finished third on his own Jahorn, with Shipston-on-Stour's Simon Nicholson runner-up and all three finishing with less than 3/10 of a second between them. Another rider based at Nick Skelton's Shrewley yard, Scott Smith, took the top two spots in the 1.105m Open. This international rider, who is originally from Doncaster and who is currently ranked third in Britain, rode Landwind and Sonic Empire. Oxford rider Chris Akerman won the Discovery by well over two seconds on his seven-year-old mare Mini Business, with Bulkington three-day eventer John-Paul Sheffield third on El Zorro zorro: see fox.

The Junior Classes opened with a win for the latest in a long line of show-jumpers from the Charley family, when Fillongley's Stephanie Charley headed the 10 years and under class on the 12.2hh mare Ballyglass Rose. Market Harborough's Matilda Thompson led the way in the British Novice on another 12.2hh pony, jumping the only double clear on Red Rover Boy. The Blue Chip Newcomers went to Leamington teenager Sarah Powell Brett, seven seconds clear of the Derby rider Richard Seals, on Carlotta.
