'I was afraid but can't be now' - Hollie Doyle relishing winter stint in Japan

Hollie Doyle's belief in her talents convinced her to jet away to Japan for a winter riding stint and she is relishing the opportunity.

Doyle will be joined on her international adventure by husband Tom Marquand – another highly regarded member of Britain's Flat weighing room.

Marquand, who finished joint-second with Doyle behind William Buick in the 2022 Flat championship, previously spent time riding in Australia but this year's trip marks Doyle's first prolonged spell abroad.
