Lee awaits outcome of whip suspension appeal

Billy Lee's appeal against a six-day whip suspension is due today. He is unlikely to be able to ride in the final two days of the season at Dundalk and the championship at Naas. Colin Keane is the current favourite to win the title. The championship resumes today in Nass. Eric and Conor McNamara were winners at Galway over the weekend. Laura Hourigan trained Notforalongtime, which won a handicap at the Dundalks. Cheltenham Festival-winning jockey Mark McDonagh rode Global Equity at Curragh.
