Fallon to ride Damson in Coronation

KIEREN FALLON will be reunited with David Wachman’s cracking filly Damson in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot at York on Friday.

Fallon had been expected to take the ride aboard Aidan O'Brien's 1000 Guineas winner Virginia Waters, but he will instead partner the daughter of Entrepreneur.

The Irishman rode Damson for the first time when steering her to victory against the colts in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh last summer and was also in the plate when she was third in the Cheveley Park Stakes.
