Carl Hester: Won in Warwickshire

Olympic gold medallist Carl Hester won Saturday's feature class at the National Dressage Championships in Warwickshire.

Hester, riding his London 2012 horse Uthopia, took the Dyon Grand Prix Championship by a comfortable margin.

The Gloucestershire-based star was part of Britain's gold medal-winning team at Greenwich Park alongside Charlotte Dujardin and Laura Bechtolsheimer.

And the Hester/Uthopia combination proved a class apart, scoring 76.55% to beat Bechtolsheimer and her back-up horse Andretti H into second spot on 73.34%.

Michael Eilberg took third with Half Moon Delphi, just in front of Gareth Hughes (DV Stenkjers Nadonna) and Henriette Andersen (Louis D'Or).
