Marcus Tregoning is hoping to complete his move to Whitsbury from Lambourn by the end of the week.
"Obviously I'm delighted that we are extending our association (with Sheikh Hamdan) that goes back to the time of Nashwan in the days when I was assistant trainer to Dick Hern. "Later, after I started on my own in 1997, I had some top class horses for the Sheikh including Nayef, a multiple Group One winner and Mubtaker, who was second in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and at the peak of his powers, was the world's highest rated older horse. No wonder he was such a favourite in the yard. "But that is all in the past and we are very much looking ahead now to a new season from new quarters. "Whitsbury has some outstanding gallops and a rich history of producing winners. Hopefully we can continue that tradition."
