RACING:JOCKEY KIRSTY Milczarek has appealed against the two-year disqualification handed to her last week following a British Horseracing Authority disciplinary hearing into alleged corruption, the BHA confirmed yesterday. Former registered owners Maurice Sines and James Crickmore have submitted appeals following the disciplinary panel's decision to disqualify them from racing for 14 years.

Unlicensed individuals Peter and Nick Gold have appealed against the penalties handed to them by the disciplinary panel, which were five and seven years respectively.

Hennessy Gold Cup winner Carruthers is among a field of 33 to stand their ground at the confirmation stage for the Coral Welsh National at Chepstow on Tuesday. With Neptune Collonges withdrawn as expected, the weights are headed by Colin Tizzard’s Hey Big Spender.
