Chipping Norton trainer Charlie Longsdon and stable jockey Noel Fehily have ended their successful three-year partnership.

Longsdon explained that they had parted company on amicable terms with Fehily increasingly required to ride for leading owner Jared Sullivan’s Potensis Bloodstock, whose string include dual King George VI Chase hero Silviniaco Conti.

The trainer plans to use the best jockeys available until reassessing the situation later in the year.
