Grandstand Media have invited Ryan Prater and Tim Gredley to compete in the international classes at the British Open. Tim was next in line on the BSJA ranking list and Ryan was consistent with Otage at Addington, finishing 2nd (double clear), 18th & 9th (fast 4 faults in 2nd & 3rd legs.)

Yes indeed - she missed out at Addington by a single point, having had an uncharacteristic 8 faults in the jump-off for the 3rd leg. However I can see why they gave the extra places to Tim & Ryan as the leading riders under 23 not to have already qualified (Tim was next on the relevant BSJA ranking list anyway) as both can make full use of the places by riding 3 horses whereas Helen just has the one to jump at this level. Also when she qualified last year she opted not to jump in the Championship classes, preferring at that stage(understandably) to go in the supporting classes.
