Dalaman Impressive On Return

Dalaman returned to the track at Chepstow on Tuesday after 13 months on the sidelines with an impressive victory on his first start for new trainer Neil Mulholland.

Dalaman is a horse that we always thought highly of having won his bumper and claiming fourth in the Cheltenham listed bumper we were looking forward to his hurdles career.

However the past 2 seasons were plagued by injuries and setbacks but after 13 months of problem solving and a change of trainer Dalaman seems to have put his issues behind him.

Ridden by Tom Scudmore Dalaman always held a handy position and apart from the third hurdle from home his jumping was slick and having jumped the last he readily put 4 lengths between himself and his nearest rival.

It was great for his owners who kept the faith through a difficult few seasons and hopefully this victory will go some way to thanking them.
