FRANKIE DETTORI has copped a ten-day ban for careless riding - ruling him out of Glorious Goodwood and the King George.

The popular jockey's mount Angel's Hideaway caused huge interference in the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket on Friday.

The filly drifted over sharply to the rail cutting up both Main Edition and La Pelosa who were lucky to avoid serious injury along with their jockeys James Doyle and William Buick.

Angel's Hideaway went on to finish second behind runaway winner Pretty Pollyanna.

However, the interference was enough to ruin the chances of market leaders La Pelosa and Main Edition.

Dettori was set to ride the likes of Stradivarius in the Goodwood Cup and Without Parole in the Sussex Stakes.

Dettori said: "I will think about it (appeal), of course. I would have said 'yes', but I've got to check with the PJA (Professional Jockeys Association) and I've got to look at the videos again.

"I'm devastated, of course."

While the stewards considered the interference had not improved the placing of Angel's Hideaway, they said Dettori had been given the suspension as "he allowed his mount to shift right without timely or sufficient correction which caused Chicas Amigas to be checked and also caused considerable interference to both La Pelosa and Main Edition".
