Silvestre de Sousa has been handed a 24-day suspension, with eight days deferred, after breaching the whip rules aboard Big Mojo in the Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster.

The three-time champion jockey was found to have used his whip above the permitted level when riding Mick Appleby’s high-class juvenile, who was beaten a neck by Aesterius in the Town Moor Group Two.
