Richard Hughes has been unsuccessful in his appeal against the six day ban he received at Wolverhampton for careless riding. Hughes will be sitting on the sidelines for seven consecutive days in total (October 16-22) as he also copped for a one-day whip suspension on the same Wolverhampton card. The ban means he will of course now also miss Champions' Day at Newmarket on 16th October.
Paul Hanagn leads Hughes by ten winners with the title decided on 6th November and with Hughes also set to be sat with his feet up on 12th October for a one-day careless riding suspension he received at Newbury in September the fat lady is clearing her throat and the race for the Jockeys Title appears all but over.
