European Champion, André Thieme did count on his DSP Chakaria (Chap I) to earn the title. The German rider managed to produce double clear rounds in Sopot, St. Gallen and Barcelona.

Jérome Guery majorly counted on his number oneQuel Homme de Hus (Quidam de Revel). The pair managed to produce a double clear in Rome as well as at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. They also impressed in Aachen and Barcelona. Aboard Milton (Mylord Carthago) Guery was faultless in La Baule and Rotterdam.

With six clear rounds Martin Fuchs, Eoin McMahon and Malin Baryard-Johnsson were just not strong enough to claim the title.
