 The second class, a bigger one at 1.50, provided ten clears over Frank Rothenberg's course. Christian Ahlmann set a good standard in the jump off, clear in 38.20 which left the others some room for improvement but the double, which was now the third fence caused problems for Nick Skelton and Jessica Kurten. Ludger Beerbaum went clear in 35.45 on his new ride Chaman and the remaining pairs knew they would need to really fly to beat him. Timothee Anciaume did just that finishing in 33.69 with Litsam but in the end last to go, Steve Guerdat on his Rio winner Tresor, was the one to take the honours with his time of 32.91. Mention must be made of Alvaro de Miranda, who was only at his third international with Ashleigh Drossel Dan, and through the gates in 33.23 which got him second spot. Steve's smoother turn into the last probably made the difference so the winners rosette and the Euro 8000 purse went to his long time owner and great supporter, Yves Piaget.
