The way I see it is that although Matt Baker looks pretty neat in the saddle whilst everything is going to plan, he doesn't back that up from the saddle and is a heartbeat "behind" his horse's movements rather than urging him on.  His legs swing back when jumping which is fine while everything goes to plan but if his horse refuses, like he did last night, his legs swing so far back that he loses his balance entirely and it all goes Pete Tong.

Sara Cox rides pretty well, she looks neat - in fact she looks like a teenager jumping a pony in competition but again, she isn't always there to back up signals from the saddle - ie she's not particularly postive in pushing her horse on.

Jenni Falconer and Suzi Perry are doing very well considering their limited experience previously and I still think Anna Ryder-Richardson is probably the best rider in the field, or at least very close to it.  Her nerves got to her last night as she became the only rider in the competition to move up a level - she was unlucky to get the gate down and it is understandable that she jumped 'David' rather than 'Goliath' as in that advanced class 'Goliath' was a big fence for riders at this stage and she was up in size anway.

Kri, I think that maybe you're getting mixed up between Sara Cox & Anna Ryder-Richardson?  A R-R didn't jump 'Goliath' - she jumped 'David' and didn't knock it down.  If you are meaning Sara I agree that she did look pretty tense.
