    Kitty King now holds second place with Vendredi Biats, after taking the lead in the first session this morning.

    William Fox-Pitt produced a beautiful test on the five-star debutante Grafennacht and lies eighth at the end of the phase.

    Oliver Townend and Tim Price’s second rides and Laura Collett’s sole entry Dacapo have also joined the top 10 as the dressage wraps up.

    Meanwhile, heavy rain has led to some alterations to the cross-country course which riders will tackle tomorrow.

    And we spoke to firefighter and five-star event rider Tom Crisp about his veteran top level mare, Liberty And Glory.
