No surprises in the French squad, though I'd choose OG over R-YB:
• Timothée ANCIAUME et Lamm de Fétan
• Roger-Yves BOST et Idéal de la Loge
• Pénélope LEPREVOST et Jubilée d’Ouilly
• Kevin STAUT et Kraque Boom

Remplaçant :
• Olivier GUILLON et Lord de Theize

The Dutch long list:
Leopold van Asten
Jeroen Dubbeldam
Angelique Hoorn
Marc Houtzager
Harrie Smolders
Leon Thijssen
Eric van der Vleuten
Vincent Voorn
Jur Vrieling
Albert Zoer

No announcement of our longlist yet.

Would you? Olivier has had a few decent results on that horse including a decent performance in cannes but Roger has been almost unbeatable on his one? shame he dropped one in the jump off Sunday really. He is quite boringly winning lately!
but as you say no real surprises although having Penelope must be the first french lady for a while!
 
My choice is because I think OG is a better rider. In Aachen R-YB had 12 (you said Geoff's 8 there was a cricket score). but I think it's a close call.
 
I think it would be very difficult not to include a combination such as Bost and Ideal. They are consistently in the money and in 2008 won nearly 450,000 euros.
Having said that, the French at the moment are spoilt for choice. They have such depth. Which is why they took only 1 year to recover from the disaster that was Beijing. Maybe the controllers of British show jumping could do with spending a few months in France, they may learn a thing or two!!!!!
 
I think and hope that Albert, Angelique and Marc r almost certain for the Dutch squad with the final 2 places being quite open. I dont think Leopold or Vincent have enough form and the others all have form but it is a bit erratic...especially after Hickstead. I also really hope Jeroen is on there but I dont know which horse..?
 
Sweden (if anyone apart from me cares!) Rolf-Göran Bengtsson - Ninja La Silla, Svante Johansson - Saint Amour, Helena Lundbäck - Madick, Henrik von Eckermann - Montender & Alexander Zetterman - Isaac.
 
yeah i figured that for sweden and the british need to car they are the only other team apart from Belgium that concievably be relegated instead of us!!
 
Thanks for the details of the Swedish team - quite a strong one. 3 with proven track record, and 2 very promising youngsters. I've been very impressed by Henrik - Montender looks to be nearly back to his form of years ago, whereas for the past couple of years with Marco, he's looked rather jaded.
 
Here is the German list:
Marcus Ehning (Borken), Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum (Thedinghausen), Thomas Mühlbauer (Kötzting) und Carsten-Otto Nagel (Wedel). Als Reservereiter wurden Marco Kutscher (Riesenbeck) und Philipp Weishaupt (Riesenbeck) berufen.
