American riders dominate the leaderboard, with 12 of the top 15, excluding Jung, Todd and Paget, wearing the stars and stripes.
Tim Price and Bango were eliminated just before the end of the cross country while former world and Olympic champion Blyth Tait on Xanthus III and Joe Meyer on Clip Clop are 50th and 51st on 108.5 and 118.6 respectively.
Paget was very pleased with Clifton Signature's efforts.
''I had a ball on my horse," he said. ''We found it a little hard work with all the hills and the twisting and turning. He's quite a big horse."
Paget began intending to chase the time, but stopped watching the clock late in the ride as Signature tired.
"He has a great mind, a big heart and he just kept trying. I wanted him to finish as nicely as possible.
''I would like to have him there for the Olympics so the priority was that he had a nice experience," Paget said.
