PICTURE: Mark CranhamWilliams was fined £3,000 and conditional Fahy suspended for 14 days (March 22-April 4) after the stewards found them in breach.
Whatdoyoucallit, one of three Williams horses in the race, was banned from running for 40 days, beginning on March 11.
Stewards' secretary Simon Cowley said: "We felt, even allowing for the fact that the horse was having his first run over hurdles, Fahy did notask for sufficient effort."
