The Irish Turf Club has moved the date of the Foxrock inquiry from April 2 to April 18.

Trainer Ted Walsh and jockey Adrian Heskin attracted the attention of the stewards when Foxrock finished third at Punchestown in December, with officials accepting the seven-year-old had finished slightly lame and lost both front shoes during the course of the race, although they banned Heskin for not reporting the issues in the first instance.

However, new footage has emerged that was not available on the day, prompting the inquiry to be reopened.

Turf Club press officer Cliff Noone said: "Their legal team couldn't make the original date (April 2) so it has been put back to April 18."
