The Irish rider, a winner at Bolesworth last year, steered Loughview Lou Lou home in the speed competition, clocking a time of 61.28 seconds.

Their performance proved alomst a second quicker than runner-up Lorenzo de Luca, on Halifax van het Kluizebo, with British challengers filling third and fourth spots through William Funnell (Billy Angelo) and Jessica Mendoza (Wan Arcitect), respectively. Lennon said:

“Lou Lou is a very versatile mare and a horse for all seasons. She is very versatile, careful and loves to jump. We had a misunderstanding and a stop yesterday, but she wanted to win today, and after we got fence two out of the way I was happy to move on in the hope we could be in with a chance.”

Based in Ireland, Lennon has ridden the mare since she was an eight-year-old and he is a great fan of Bolesworth international. He added:

“This is the third time I have been here, and you couldn’t get a better venue.”
