[hywelandalbie]

who do we think then?? i think ruth edge will go for it this year and i think emily baldwin,tina cook and Pippa are in with a chance.

I would love for Opposition Buzz to win! He's got one hell of a jump.

I'll be interested to see how many finish the xc after firm ground & heat play their part, AND pass the trot up. Then I'll think about who's going to win...

Exactly my thoughts! It's a wonder everyone is still running, even if the grounds been watered...

 

[hywelandalbie]

yeah...buzz is awesome and nicola's lovely but i don't think his dressage is good enough...i do love him though!!! i really wanted emily llew to enter Society Spice!!!

Would be so good if WFP and Tamarillo won before he retires! But i'm not sure.

He's not entered

yeah...what is Rayef's dressage like?? does anyone know (Laura Collett's ride)

The grounds not just been watered though has it, it's been prepped for weeks! They learnt a lot after that disasterious year a few years ago, I should imagine the grounds fairly good!
I have no idea who will win, would love Mary king to have a blinder, Mark Todd, WFP, pippa funnell etc to do well, but who knows!

 

[CastleMouse]

My money's on Andrew Nicholson!

He's not entered

Oops! My bad. I've just looked at the entries and saw he wasnt on the list.

 

[vallin]

well I wanted FW or Geoff Curran but just found out neither of those are running! boo! If not I would love redesigned and Pippa to win, love that horse!

Even if they have, there is only so much you can do. It looks fantastic from the photos but who's to know?

Bring on sunday

 

[kirstyhen]

Yeah it's obviously not going to be perfect, but it's not like they've just run a watering can over it yesterday evening
Can't wait for Sunday, was supposed to be teaching all afternoon, but because of the holidays I've had load of cancellations, so start at 9 finish at 11 and home in time to get comfy ready! No OH about to huff at my lack of interest in him either! Perfect!!

Andrew Nicholson & Avebury! Love that combination, also think Oli Townend will be well up there as usual.

Keeping fingers crossed for Mark Kyle and Lauren Shannon
