BELGIAN riders dominated the four-star Grand Prix at the Sunshine Tour in Vejer de la Frontera, Spain, last Sunday, while Ireland’s Alexander Butler posted a double clear to finish in sixth place.

Torrential rain threatened the class but the main grass arena at the venue showed its quality when absorbing the heavy rainwater and was in good condition for the 1.55m feature of the week. a start list of 60 started over the course, with just nine finding the key and coming home with no faults to add.
