    • The Agria Blenheim European Championships cross-country times have now been released for tomorrow’s action (Saturday, 20 September).

    The first horse out of the start box will be Nadja Minder with Toberone, Switzerland’s first team pairing, who will head off at 11am. The last rider on course is due to be Ireland’s team number four Ian Cassells, who is expected to start at 3.30pm with Millridge Atlantis. Horses will be sent on their way at five-minute intervals, and will run without any breaks until the conclusion.

    The first pair for the British team, which runs in partnership with Agria, are Yasmin Ingham and Rehy DJ. They are due out at 11.15am.

    A total of 55 horses are expected leave the start box to tackle Mark Phillips’ track, which is 5,710m long and features 31 numbered fences.
