LONGSHOT
STAMINA CHOPE (5.10 Uttoxeter)
She's dropped to 6lb below her last winning mark and looks a big price coming back from a break.
EACH-WAY THIEF

BIG TIME RASCAL (3.20 Bath)
He followed a Brighton win with a close-up third over this course and distance last time out. A 1lb drop in weights helps.
ZAFAAN (4.20 Bath)
He kept pulling out more to score at Yarmouth latest and should be right in the hunt again.

Winning jockey banned after ‘extremely unusual' incident in controversial finish to Bath race

WINNING jockey Callum Shepherd was banned and demoted after this 'extremely unusual' incident at Bath races. Shepherd and Hector Crouch were battling it out in a thrilling finish to a 1m6f handicap on Monday. Advertisement 2 Callum Shepherd on Captain Brett, against the rail, and Hector Crouch on Iwantmytimewithyou, were involved in a hugely controversial finish 2 Shepherd's arm came off his reins in what the stewards - who later banned him for five days - deemed to be an attempt to 'push away' his rival Going for a gap up the inside, Shepherd looked to be getting the better of his rival on Iwantmytimewithyou. But he was all but helpless to stop Captain Brett shifting to his right and causing a bump to Crouch's mount. In a tight, tough finish, Shepherd is seen taking his right hand off the reins. And it is at this point stewards claimed he 'extended his right arm making contact with Crouch in an apparent attempt to push him away'. Advertisement Stewards immediately moved to reverse the placings and ban Shepherd for five days - a suspension the Racing Post report called 'extremely unusual'. Their report read: "An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after interference inside the final furlong when the winner, CAPTAIN BRETT (IRE), ridden by Callum Shepherd interfered with IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU, placed second, ridden by Hector Crouch. "The Stewards considered that the interference had improved CAPTAIN BRETT (IRE)'s placing as CAPTAIN BRETT (IRE) shifted right-handed making contact with IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU taking the gelding several horse widths off its intended line. "The Stewards considered that IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU had drawn level with CAPTAIN BRETT (IRE) and appeared to be finishing strongly at the time of the interference with the ground and momentum lost as a consequence greater than the distance of a head at the line and therefore revised the placings as follows: 1st IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU, 2nd CAPTAIN BRETT (IRE), 3rd SNEAKY BLINDER (FR), 4th CHERRY COLA.

Tragedy as athlete dies after ‘getting into difficulty' while swimming during ‘Ironman' race

AN IRONMAN athlete has tragically died after competing in Wales. The athlete began experiencing "difficulty" during the swimming section of the triathlon in Swansea Ironman 70.3. The competitor - who has not been named - received immediate medical care and rushed to hospital. But they tragically died on Wednesday, event organisers have since confirmed.

"Approximately half-way into the swim portion of the race, swim safety personnel noticed and responded to an athlete in difficulty. "The athlete received immediate medical care while being taken via boat to a designated extraction point on the harbour, where further treatment was administered. "The athlete was then transported to the hospital where they continued to receive treatment, but sadly passed today. "Our deepest condolences are with the family and friends of the athlete.

Competitors start by completing a 1.2-mile swim at the Prince of Wales Dock, followed by a 56-mile bike ride through Mumbles and along the coastal clifftops of Gower, before heading out into rural Swansea and then back along Swansea Bay into the city. They then return to Swansea, preparing for transition in the Maritime Quarter next to the River Tawe. Competitors then tackle a 13.1-mile two-loop run course that leads them from the city centre, past Swansea Arena, towards Mumbles and then back to the finish line at the marina
