Irish TV presenter Rachel Gredley, who is married to British showjumper Tim Gredley, won Saturday’s CSI2* 1.15m speed class at the London leg of the Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) with the family’s 10-year-old home-bred mare Jalanna.

The mother-of-two, who stepped back from her role as Sky Sports presenter last year, shaved fractions off a superb round set by Tony Pearson on Berlin to claim the 500 euro top prize in the Total Waste Management speed class.
