JOHN O'SHEA has abandoned his idea to pack up training in England to return to this country and will be moving to new premises in early August.

O'Shea said yesterday: "I will be moving to Tudor stables at Westbury-On-Severn in early August and will be renting the property off the owner Keith Bell. I will be my own man there."

The yard previously occupied by Chris Broad, who has since joined the ranks of jockeys' agents, has a total of 28 boxes, and O'Shea will start with 14 inmates.

"I had started to disperse my string as I was going to pack in and go back to Ireland but I received such a good offer to move to Tudor stables that I decided to give it a go," added the trainer.

"I will be using Mick Fitzgerald just like before," he said.
