No less than 18 combinations qualified for the Jump-Off in the 1.55m Grand Prix qualifier in Hamburg. In front of his home crowd, Germany's David Will jumped to victory aboard his 12-year-old BWP-gelding My Prins van Dorperheide (breeder: Ludo Philippaerts).
David Will and the 12-year-old son of Zilverstar T were narrowly faster than Belgium's Karel Cox, riding the nine-year-old Zangersheide son of Vigo d'Arsouilles, Viva la v.d. Z. Cox, along with Paul Van den Bosch's horse, finished ahead of Harrie Smolders with Uricas vd Kattevennen (Uriko).
Smolders completed the top three as the slowest clear in the jump-off. Michael Pender followed in fourth place with one jumping fault.
The Irishman missed the podium with his 10-year-old HHS Los Angeles (Le Roi 10). Kendra Claricia Brinkop with the KWPN, In Time (Biscayo), secured the fifth position.
