Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Paddy Brennan was suspended for 18 days and trainer Fergal O’Brien fined £4,000 after Northern Air finished second at Wincanton
Northern Air, a mare owned by Redknapp and Hill, was a 5-1 chance on her second start for the former West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur manager and her first over hurdles at Wincanton.
Wanting to settle her this time, he told stewards he focused on “keeping the bit up in her mouth, being patient and riding her up the straight to hit the line”.
