LEDBURY showjumper Charlotte Pudge seized victory in the KBIS Insurance Senior British Novice second round at Aston Le Walls Equestrian Centre, Daventry.

Thirty-five combinations contended the final second round qualifier of the 2018 summer season and 30 hopefuls produced first-round clears over course designer Kevin Bull’s 10-fence track.

Just two were lost on the way in round two with 28 going forward to a strong jump-off.

Pudge jumped a confident round, holding off all challengers to win by 1.22 seconds on Cassinaro Dream, an eight-year-old grey gelding.

Seventeen on-form horse and rider combinations provided treble clears to go forward to the KBIS Insurance Senior British Novice final.
