Lorcan Wyer was banned for 10 days by the Southwell stewards yesterday for riding a finish a circuit too soon on The Toaster in the Skegness Handicap Chase.

Wyer returned to boos and abuse from punters after his faux pas on the second favourite in the four-runner race. He put his mount in front before the finish line - seemingly not realising there was still a circuit to go.

He is suspended from 23 August to 4 September.
