Rob Hornby is set to miss the whole of Royal Ascot having failed to weigh in after finishing third on Surrey Belle at Nottingham.
Sent off the 9-2 joint favourite, Surrey Belle was third past the post but Hornby did not weigh in so his mount was disqualified, with Merrijig promoted one place.
The stewards report read: “The clerk of the scales objected to Surrey Belle, placed third, ridden by Rob Hornby on the grounds of the rider failing to weigh in.
“Surrey Belle was disqualified and the placings revised as follows: First- EExpressionless, Second- Marbuzet, Third- Merrijig and Fourth- Liberated Lad.
