Johnston and Channon seem to get a number of his sons horses which when those trainers show suroor how to do it, get transferred to godolphin.
Spitfire,
The horses that used to run in sheik Mo’s colours have been transferred to his wife Princess Haya. I can’t pretend to have checked out her trainers, but I’d guess they aren’t much different to the ones you list.

Sorry, should have said not much different to those trainers who were recently traing horses in sheik Mo’s colours.

Thanks Richard I didn’t know about Princess Haya.
What happened to all those Maktoum Al Maktoum horses that Sheikh Mohammed inherited on his older brothers death. I still see the odd one or two running for Stoutey under the name Gainsborough but I see none for two stables who had dozens of them Barry Hills and Ed Dunlop. Did Sheik Mohammed transfer them to one of his relatives too. That must have been a crushing blow for Ed to lose his chief patron like that, he probably had fifty of them every year.
His recently agreed arrangement with Fabre should help stem the Coolmore tide somewhat. With the ammunition, Fabre is surely the best around.
Spitfire,
What was Gainsborough now operates as Rabbah Bloodstock – friends and family of Sheik Mo their web site says. Personally, don’t know much about R B, but here’s a lnk to their website.

This latest development with Andre Fabre is a great and smart move by the Sheikh but I just hope it doesn’t mean his european operations will be based out of France.
PS I also left out Willie Hastings Bass (AKA Lord Huntingdon) out of my fairly comprehensive list of British and Irish Sheikh M trainers.
