Domtaline can get us off to flying start

IN LOTS of ways, at least for me, today marks the real start of the National Hunt season. I’m at Chepstow and ride seven horses for Paul Nicholls.

We start with one you will not have heard of, Domtaline, in the juvenile hurdle. The plan is simple, he is primed to get us away to a flying start.

Domtaline has come from France, having finished third in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil in May. Fitness shouldn’t be a major worry, considering it isn’t that long since he ran.
