First sessionEmma Thomas/Icarus (46.9 ): Well, it was better than last year we got through it. One of the pirouettes and the [flying] changes were OK; hes getting better. He sees the cross-country fences and gets a bit anxious.Ian Cassells/Master Point (30.7 ): Its amazing to be here. Master Point is not the most extravagant and can be a bit downhill but he tried his hardest and allowed me to ride him.Christoph Wahler/DAccord 70 (32.2): It was good. The course is quite big.Ros Canter/Lordships Graffalo (25.3) Ros scored the first 10 of the event: Hes getting stronger all the time. Hes always struggled a bit with the [flying] changes, but the mistakes were my fault. He loves the atmosphere.Susie Berry/Clever Trick (36.5): Id have taken that score yesterday. The trot work was beautiful. There will be plenty to jump tomorrow.Kate Rocher-Smith/Dassett Select (33.1): That was good for where hes at, its a brilliant mark for him. Hes naturally a hot horse and took a deep breath as he went up the centre line, which is progress.
