The Longines Ranking class of Wiesbaden was set at 1.50m heigh. After the first round, the Jump-Off was competed with nine combinations at the start. Eventually it was rider in form, Cian O'Connor who speeded to victory together with his 9-year-old Taj MAhal (ex. Etoile vd Neerheide).
Together with the 9-year-old son of Emerald, Ireland's O'Connor was less than half a second faster as Bernard Cardoso De Resende Alves with the 12-year-old El Torreo De Muze (Taran de la Pomme). The stage was completed by O'Connor's compatriot Max Wachman aboard the 13-year-old Quintini (Quintender 2).
Only the top three riders managed to produce a clear Jump-Off round. Wachman was followed by Vladimir Tretera with the 11-year-old KWPN-horse, Gangster vh Noddevelt. Dutch showjumper Gerben Morsink completed the top five aboard his trusted 8-year-old Carina Z (Carthino Z).
