Adam Short has been suspended for 10 days. 

Philip Rothwell is to appeal over the decision of the Limerick stewards to fine him €2,000, suspend jockey Adam Short for 10 days, and ban Duffys Hodey for 60 days following a running and riding inquiry.

The penalties were handed out following the first division of the Fexco Asset Finance Handicap Hurdle on Tuesday in which Duffys Hodey, a 28-1 chance, stayed on in the closing stages to finish sixth of 14 behind Lake Chad.
