It’s another big week here at EN! This week, we’re heading to England for the 2026 Defender Burghley CCI5*, where a star-studded field awaits this year’s challenge. It’s truly a wide-open competition this week since we won’t see our defending champs, Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo. Great Britain’s Sarah Bullimore and Corimiro are currently the top-ranked pair on the EquiRatings Prediction Center with a 20% win chance at the outset of competition week. You can check out the Burghley Prediction Center here. We’ll have our Ultimate Guide and Form Guide ready for your perusal no later than tomorrow, so stay tuned for much more!
