Martin considers Lad appeal

Trainer Tony Martin is still considering an appeal against Davids Lad’s 42-day suspension incurred at Naas yesterday.

The nine-year-old was banned from running until April 6 by the Irish stewards, who ruled that the racecourse had been used as a training ground as the horse trailed in last under Timmy Murphy in the Paddy & Helen Cox Memorial Newlands Chase.
