Jumps jockey Paul Hamblin will appeal against a careless riding suspension after stewards found him guilty of being responsible for the fall of his mount Phaze Action in the Brierly Steeplechase at Warrnambool on Tuesday.

Emerging chaser Phaze Action heads the betting for the $100,000 Brierly Steeplechase on the opening day of the huge Warrnambool Carnival on Tuesday.

Champion hurdler Black And Bent resumed over the jumps at Sandown today the same way he left when winning with ease to claim his seventh jumps win in a row.

Black And Bent made it eight straight victories over the hurdles and set himself up for his second Galleywood Hurdle, a race he won two years ago.
