Dutton was riding for Australia when he was runner-up here in 2005, but he has since switched his nationality to the United States were he has long been based. He is lying ahead of Britain’s John-Paul Sheffield on Crown Farm Consort with Germany’s Kai Ruder third on the stallion Leprince des Bois, with whom he was runner-up at Boekelo in the Netherlands last year.
