Jordan Coyle (IRL) and For Gold (For Fashion x Heraldik) were one of seven pairs to jump clear in the first round and advance to the jump-off. Aboard For Gold, Coyle crossed the finish line in 38.64s, over two seconds faster than Patricio Pasquel (MEX) and Gazelle SM (Orient Express x Caritano Z), who finished in second with a time of 40.75s while Conor Swail (IRL) aboard Qoreen van't Ruytershof (Mosito vanhet Hellehof x Levisto Z) took third in 40.81.
