Dean Childs is to switch his graded strength to Crayford following a spell at Hove.

Crayford racing manager Danny Rayment said “I’m delighted to welcome a trainer of Deans’ calibre to Crayford. There is an exciting blend of youth and experience amongst the training ranks at the track and Dean’s arrival will add to the quality and variety of the racing strength. It puts Crayford in a strong position to manage the busy five meetings a week schedule now and for many years to come.”
