Jockey Martin Dwyer is set to face an inquiry in India following his third-place finish aboard the favourite for a race at Mahalaxmi racecourse in Mumbai.

Jockey Jason Behan’s three-year ban handed out by the British Horseracing Authority has been reciprocated by the Turf Club after he failed to turn up at a hearing.

Richard Hughes is leaving any possible next step to his legal team after the British Horseracing Authority published the reasons for rubberstamping the 50-day ban he was given in India.

Richard Hughes is planning to appeal against a hefty riding suspension picked up in India that could rule him out of the start of the British Flat season.
