Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden off to a great start Andrew Nelis

Nineohtwooneoh gave Paul Nicholls a flying start to the new National Hunt season with victory in the first race on the resumption of British jumps racing at Southwell. The 2-1 favourite scored emphatically on his fencing debut in the Sign Solutions Nottingham Novices’ Handicap Chase, as he and jockey Harry Cobden evaded drama around them in an eventful contest. For 11-time champion trainer Nicholls, it was the perfect start to a campaign delayed by two months following the interruption of jumps racing which began back in March during the shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
