Parr, 49, who has saddled53 winners since his appointment as replacement for Danny Murphy in February last year, leaves the yard on Friday with no immediate employment prospects, and admitting he is tempted to quit the sport.

He said:  "Willie is down sizing, but hopefully I have shown I can train, and I will be looking for another job somewhere."

McKay added: "Stewart has done great, but I didn't really feel as if I had the quality there to do what I really wanted,and I wasn't really enjoying it to tell the truth. I am really busy just now in the transfer market, and I have to keep my eye on the thing I make money on rather than on something that is meant to be enjoyment."
