Martin Fuchs with Upgrade and Guerdat with Lancelotta did not saddle their top horses and had to accept two and three knockdowns respectively. Géraldine Straumann on Long John Silver also failed to clear three fences. Victory in the competition with prize money of 180,000 euros went to Ireland's Darragh Kenny on Eddy Blue.

The World Cup Final will take place in Basel in April. After 8 of 14 qualifiers, only Guerdat has collected enough points so far.
