Grand National-winning trainer Oliver Sherwood has announced plans to retire and take up a new role in the racing industry.
The Lambourn handler, who sent out popular chaser Many Clouds to win Aintree's big race in 2015, will become Harry Derham's assistant. Sherwood, given the all-clear from cancer last year, feels his business is no longer sustainable.
He also said the death of his friend Richard Aston was a factor in his decision to call time on his lengthy career. Over almost four decades, Sherwood, 68, trained more than 1,300 winners, including six at the Cheltenham Festival.
