Fallon returns for Shami ride

KIEREN FALLON will return to race-riding tomorrow when he partners Shami for David Loder at Lingfield.

Fallon returns for Shami ride

Fallon, the five-times British Flat champion, will be seen in public for the first time since it was revealed last month that he had been receiving treatment for alcohol-related problems.

Fallon, from Co Clare, has not ridden in these islands since last autumn.

Loder said yesterday: "Kieren's a champion jockey so, obviously, you'd want to use him when he's available. He's got a tremendous record for me since he moved south."

Shami, who faces 15 opponents in the 12 furlong class B handicap tomorrow, had shaped encouragingly on his first start for Loder a week previously, staying on to finish fifth over a two-furlong shorter trip.
