PEEBLES showjumper Scott Brash has won the Global Champions Tour Grand Prix in France.
Aboard Hello Forever, the Olympic gold medalist triumphed in an epic battle set against the stunning backdrop of Cannes.
The two-time LGCT Champion of Champions took a sensational win against a star-studded field, which included eight out of the top 10 riders in the world.
Four of the fastest riders on the circuit squared up for the finale against the clock and it was Scott who produced a brilliant and daring performance, drawing gasps from the crowd, as he delivered the winning round.
Brash was full of praise for Hello Forever. He said: “He’s a real trier – but I think it can get a lot smoother yet.
“It’s still early days with him. He can make my life a bit difficult at times but the best is yet to come with him.”
The British national anthem rang out to celebrate Scott’s second victory in the Cannes Grand Prix – his last victory came with Hello Sanctos back in 2014.
