Zanotelli and the 10-year-old son by Balou du Reventon were just a bit faster as man of the hour, Abdel Said. Said earlier placed in the 1.45m classes and now settled as runner-up aboard his 9-year-old Clown of Picobello Z (Cardento). Aboard his own and Stud 111 co-owned gelding the Belgian showjumper was over two seconds faster as Edwina Tops-Alexander (AUS) and her 12-year-old Corelli de Mies (Calvaro).

Also faultless, Ireland's Jack Ryan placed fourth with Eagle vd Wolfsakker (Elvis Ter Putte), while Bassem Mohammed completed the top five aboard Caletto Cabana (San Patrignano Cassini).
