The German rider piloted Coby 8 to the win in Spain; Canadian Kara Chad was among the impressive international field of 40 entries.

In her debut year in the 5* ranks, the young German piloted Iron Dames My Prins in just her 2nd WC class and her horse's first-ever jumpoff.

The Brit piloted the small but speedy black stallion to the fastest of just eight double-clears over Guilherme Jorge-designed track.

The French rider won this event last year with a different horse, and was in fine form all week with the mare Caracole de la Roque.
