McGrath, who won the Ayr showpiece on Ryalux in 2003, and Walton will face a British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel hearing provisionally scheduled for November 11.

It is alleged the pair conspired with registered persons Mark Aspey, Carl Flint, Kristian Robson, David Stevens and David Greenwood and/or others unknown to use inside information about the likely performance of horses for betting purposes.
