Can Edwina go back to back in Shanghai?

Two-time LGCT Champions Scott Brash (GBR) and Edwina Tops-Alexander (AUS) will be back at the most Eastern destination on Tour, both hoping to keep their dream of a historic third win alive. Britain’s gold medallist Brash leads the charge in the overall ranking, with Tops-Alexander just 13 points behind – and with 40 points for a LGCT Grand Prix win there is everything to play for as the first part of the 2018 season unfolds.

This weekend could be a game-changer, as reigning LGCT Champion Harrie Smolders (NED) makes his return to the Championship, with the in-form Dutchman bringing top stallion Don VHP Z as a clear sign of intent. Smolders won gold at the LGCT Grand Prix of Shanghai in 2015, and will be hungry to start his 2018 Championship charge – knowing every point will count in the fight for LGCT Ranking supremacy and consistency across the season is key.
