The first class for the 2* combinations became an Italian affair. Lorenzo de Luca was the fastest in the CSI2* 1.45m 2* Grand Prix Qualifier class with the seasoned Selle Français mare Dirka de Blondel. De Luca has already scored numerous victories with this mare, who he has been riding since 2021. Fellow Italian rider Gianni Govoni came second with Kir Royaal Delta Mossel Z. Govoni, who has already competed and represented his country many times on the world stage, rode quick but could not quite catch De Luca, finishing only 0.17 seconds behind first place. Dutchman Piet Raijmakers Jr. secured third place with Van Schijndel's Olaya Z.
