Charlotte Smet and Sam Watson are back to preview one of the biggest weekends of the European jumping season, with five-star action in Windsor, Hamburg and Madrid.

The pair dive into the return of some of the sport's biggest stars, including Point Break, Baloutinue and Beauville, while also looking at the combinations shaping the 2026 season and the road to Aachen. They discuss Scott Brash's incredible depth of horsepower, why Richie Vogel and Gangster are becoming must-watch viewing, and whether Harry Charles could deliver a home win at Windsor.

There's also plenty of attention on the next generation of championship horses, including Thibeau Spits' Impress-K van 't Kattenheye, Anastasia Nielsen and ESI Rocky, and Bertram Allen's Qonquest de Rigo. Plus, Sam and Charlotte break down why this weekend's grass shows could tell us a lot about the World Championship picture later this summer.

Along the way: Sam relives his Badminton rollercoaster, Charlotte admits she watched eventing voluntarily, and there's even a debate about whether Boville's grass form should be a concern heading towards Aachen.
