Adam West is hoping to put a challenging period behind him after moving the majority of his horses to a second yard in Maisons-Laffitte, with a view to permanently swapping Britain for France. 

The 35-year-old has kept five horses in Epsom but they have been moved down the road from Loretta Lodge Stables to Gasston Stables, from which West sent out his first runners in October 2016.
