“I’ve adored my time [in Newmarket],” she told BBC Radio Suffolk.

“It’s a great place to train racehorses, we’re very lucky that we’ve got the facilities that we have and it’s somewhere that I’ll really miss, but we’re on to new challenges.”

Asked why she had decided to make the move, Ms Murphy said France had better prize money levels.

“I’ve just found for the business model it’s getting harder to makes ends meet,” she added.

“I feel like I’m young and I’m ambitious, we need a new challenge on the business front to be a bit more successful.

“Prize money levels in France are incredibly good and that would be our biggest draw.

“Hopefully we can attract people that we wouldn’t necessarily be able to attract in England when you’re competing with the highest rank of trainers who are here in Newmarket and around the rest of the country.”
