The event was originally due to take place in Herning but owing to the coronavirus pandemic it has been relocated to Vilhelmsborg, which last hosted the FEI Dressage World Cup Final in 2001.

Isabell Werth finished second that day behind Ulla Salzgeber and the German returns to the scene of her success that day chasing her sixth FEI Dressage World Cup title.

She will be partnering Emilio, with the German contingent for the event also featuring world number three Jessica von Bredow-Werndl partnering Zaire-E, world number eight Helen Langehanenberg teaming up with Damsey FRH and Jessica Süss partnering Duisenberg.

Host nation Denmark are sending a strong team to this event on home soil with Cathrine Dufour fancied to do well on 10-year-old gelding Bohemian.
