Adam Kirby has been suspended for 21 days after being referred to the British Horseracing Authority following his winning ride on Reckless Abandon at Royal Ascot last week.

Kirby was found in breach of the whip rules by the Ascot officials, in that he used it above the permitted level, and referred as it was his fifth such breach meriting a suspension of between two and six days in the last six months.

Jean-Claude Rouget has ruled out supplementing his unbeaten French Oaks heroine Valyra for the Darley-sponsored Irish equivalent at the Curragh next month.

The three-year-old was the outsider of three Aga Khan runners in the Prix de Diane but produced an impressive performance in the hands of Johnny Murtagh to beat the previously unbeaten Beauty Parlour readily.
