One withdrawal and suddenly the whole conversation looks different.

This week Nicole, Annie and Ali preview Luhmühlen, build their Eventing Manager teams and try to work out where the value now sits in a five-star that suddenly feels much more open.

There's debate over strategy, discussion around combinations arriving with form at the right time, and plenty of disagreement over where to spend the budget.

Plus, attention turns to a seriously competitive German National Championship class, Aachen implications start creeping into the conversation, and there are a few predictions that may age brilliantly… or not at all.

Highlights • Eventing Manager strategy at Luhmühlen • Who benefits from Izilot DHI's withdrawal • Caroline Harris and D.Day's case • Five-star podium predictions • German National Championship contenders • Four-star combinations to watch • Eyes turning towards Aachen
