Brash warms up nicely for 2015 LGCT final.

It’s all go in Doha, Qatar where two of the title pretenders for the 2015 Longines Global Champions Tour have laid down a strong marker ahead of the grand finale.
Brash sent a message to the rest of the competition by winning yesterday’s trial over 1.50m/1.55m with the Oldenburg gelding Hello Forever (For Pleasure).
Following behind in second we find Rolf-Goran Bengtsson with Clarimo Ask (Clearway). The Swedish rider, like Brash, is also in line for the 2015 LGCT crown.
Third place meanwhile in the 1.50m/1.55m competition went to Germany’s Marco Kutscher with the promising 11 year-old stallion Balermo (Baloubet du Rouet).
As for Italy’s representative, Francesco Franco rode to fourth place with Banca Popolare di Bari Cassandra (Cashandcarry). The rest of the top-ten was as follows:
5th Carlos Lopez COL Prince de la Mare
6th Gregory Wathelet BEL Egano van het Slogenhof
7th Al Emadi Khalid Mohammed AS
8th Al Duhami Hamad Ramzy
