    Ahern - who has rides at Lingfield this afternoon - has been charged in relation to the run of Judgethemoment at the same track in January.

    In total six races ranging from September 2010 to March 2011 are under investigation and the hearing is currently scheduled for late April 2013, although that is subject to change.

    More to follow.

    EDDIE AHERN can expect to be warned off if found guilty after being charged following the BHA's latest corruption investigation.

    Former professional footballer Neil Clement, James Clutterbuck, the son of Newmarket trainer, Ken Clutterbuck, and former jockeys' agent and in-running punter Martin Raymond are among five other people also facing charges.

    Ahern, who has ridden 1,020 winners in Britain since 1998, was forced to abandon plans to ride in India this winter after the Bangalore Turf Club contacted the BHA as a prelude to processing his licence application, and was alerted he was likely to be charged with a serious offence.

    Clement made 300 appearances for West Bromwich Albion, including four seasons in the Premiership, but was forced to retire in January 2010 due to a knee injury.
