Last time out Lucille Pickles had to battle to keep ahead of the chasing pack. This time, she showed them a clean pair of heels and came home a comfortable winner. On the other hand it was nip and tuck in the U15 boys race, with Jack Villiers being beaten into 4th place by just fractions of a second.
