Racing: Timmy Murphy joins Nicholls' team

Timmy Murphy has landed the plum job as stable jockey to top trainer Paul Nicholls three years after leaving his yard.

Joe Tizzard, who has been riding most of Nicholls's 80-strong team will remain attached to the yard.

Tizzard had not been piloting 1999 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner See More Business.

Nicholls' move can be explained as a response to owner-pressure in appointing a "high-profile" first jockey.
