Batch was beaten to the gold medal by Fern Roses last year, but said she has wants the title now.

“I am ready, with two days to go before the finals and I have been working hard for this year’s event.

“I have been preparing for the past seven weeks and I hope I will do better than last year.

“There is a lot I have been doing and it is working well for me.
