"Back at the dressage, since Phil Collins' little encore as the Austrian music selection about an hour ago, not much has happened that's likely to affect the medal standings.
"There are 18 riders but the reality is that only the last half-dozen or so are realistic contenders for the gold - with the possible exception of Anky van Grunsven, the Dutch dressage legend at her seventh Games and defending champion, whose score of 82.000 just now might pose a threat.
"From 1500 BST things start to ratchet up. Laura Bechtolsheimer (1520), Carl Hester (1530) and Charlotte Dujardin (1550, the last to go) are the British trio and any one of them has enough in the locker to win a second gold of the week, after team gold on Tuesday.
"But Adelinde Cornelissen, another Dutch rider, is a big challenger at 1540. It feels about 50-50 in terms of British title hopes here and most eyes will be on Dujardin to deliver something special and win the individual title."
