Laura Collett has revived British hopes at the Agria Blenheim European Championships with a superb cross-country round that secured the overnight lead ahead of showjumping. “I couldn’t have asked for any more from London,” said Laura. “He kept on fighting, though he was feisty at the start which put me off as I couldn’t find a rhythm. “I had great advice from Tom, who said ‘save a little bit for the end, and really get stuck in’. Tomorrow (Sunday, 21 September), Laura and London will bid to win their first individual gold.
