Only these top three managed to achieve a double clear round. Just outside the podium, Francis Derwin (IRL) ended up fourth with the nine-year-old BWP mare, Parvati AEG (Arezzo VDL). The Netherlands' Mel Thijssen had already signed for the 1.45m Speed and Handiness win earlier. Together with the 13-year-old Grieg S (INdoctro), Thijssen ended up fifth this time.
