Ten riders went through to the jump-off in Saturday’s small Grand Prix at the Sunshine Tour. France's Julien Epaillard rode a brilliant jump-off in the 1.45 competition counting for the Longines Ranking with his faithful partner Cristallo A LM (Casall x Corofino) to win, beating his compatriot Penelope Leprevost and her 9-year-old mare Hija van Strokapelleken (Calido x Azur Depaulstra) by over three seconds. Sharing the podium with the two French riders was Ireland's Trevor Breen and Oldtown KC (Cruising x Clover Fields) who secured third place.
Katharina Offel and her stunning stallion Umeunig Z (Untouchable Z x Chellano Z) slotted into fourth followed by Alexander Sueur and Castor vh Molenhof Z (Catoki x Richebourg) as the last combination to produce two clear rounds.
