Clare Abbott home minute and a half or so over but looking good. 17th of 21 finishers at the moment

Nick's could've just bit his tongue, hope so anyway his round was wonderful and the love he showed his horse and the end was just heartwarming

Lovely, lovely little horse

Surprised Tiana Coudray is still showing on the score board as clear... surely she should have 20pens for that corner that she ran past...?

Here you go, Austin O'Connor.

That was definitely 20 penalties, it was a run out for sure! The ground jury have had a lot of work to do though so maybe they're running behind or it's been forgotten, or it's under an inquiry.

There's a number of people who are said to be under investigation for various potential stops but no verdicts seem to have been announced. Maybe they won't look at it til the end - too busy concentrating on looking for tired horses/blatant errors?

Hopefully they will start to show more but i know commentators have no control over what they see - but thankfully can see more now

From other reports Clare had a fantastic round, very pleased for her he is a cracking horse!

Austin's horse looks like it's struggling a bit now.

I don't like Austin O'Connor's riding

Honestly, 2 Irish riders on course at the moment being shown, it's a sea of Green air jackets, when are we gonna see some Brits? Tskkk *rolls eyes* (giggle)

Geoff Curran is a class rider

Absolutely, didn't look rushed and the horse was full of running at the end. Very smooth.

 

[Dunlin]

Yep I really liked Geoff's round, nice and steady and didn't knacker the horse out.

Ahhh Gemma, that was tricky! Looks like the shoulders did go the wrong side of the flag, such a shame she had gone so well!

 

[frostyfingers]

Another "oh no", poor Gemma.

 

[starryeyed]

[MegaBeast]

Another "oh no", poor Gemma.
