Ruby Walsh and Paul Nicholls are said to be on the verge of parting company.
Walsh has been stable jockey at Nicholls's Ditcheat yard for the past 10 years.
The pair have enjoyed great success together, including three victories in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, five wins in the King George VI Chase and two triumphs in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
However, it would appear that their winning partnership will soon be broken.
Monday's Irish Examiner will feature an exclusive article with the title: "Ruby Walsh: Why I'm parting company with Paul Nicholls."
