CHIPPING Norton trainer Charlie Longsdon has announced his annual open afternoon will be on Saturday, September 15.

Gates at Hull Farm Stables will open at 1pm, when racing fans will be able to see members of Longsdon’s (right) 80-strong string, which includes the likes of Aintree Festival hero Bentelimar and Sandown winner Ballydine, in the yard.

Visitors will then be treated to a select schooling session and a parade of horses, with commentary provided by the trainer.
