Jockey Bryan Cooper has received a four days suspension for 'improper riding on Milsean winner of the opening maiden hurdle at Navan today.

Cooper was attempting to hold the inside on Milsean approaching the final flight but in doing so, impeded runner-up Snow Falcon which was forced to switch after the final flight.

The Stewards subsequently found Cooper guilty of careless riding and handed him a four day suspension.
