Walter [Lordships Graffalo] did what Walter does best at Hartpury, leading from pillar to post in the CCI4*S. He had a four penalty advantage after the dressage, scoring 22.4, before jumping a beautiful double clear adding just 0.4 of a crosscountry time penalty to extend his lead.
Broadstone Lionman also jumped double clear in the British Novice Championships, four seconds over the optimum time after a sub-30 dressage to take seventh place.
In the British Intermediate Championship, Silvesters Finesse led the dressage (26.2) but lowered two rails in the showjumping before Ros took him steadily across country. Armscote Explorer jumped a good double clear with some time penalties, to finish fifth.
