The British Horse Feeds Speedi-Beet HOYS Grade C Qualifiers held at the Royal Highland Show was won by Ben Walker from Harpenden, Hertfordshire riding Gravity, a nine-year-old grey stallion owned by Annabel Mathie. 

A starting field of 45 eager combinations came forward to challenge for Horse of the Year Show qualification. With problems coming all throughout the course, only four combinations jumped clear in the first round to return to contest the jump off. It was here that Ben showed true determination and partnership with Gravity to navigate around the tricky jump off to cross the finish line with a double clear in 50.95 seconds, nearly 6 seconds ahead of second place.
