Fallon fit for Guineas double bid

KIEREN FALLON is set to take the ride on favourite George Washington for Aidan O’Brien in today’s Stan James 2000 Guineas.

The former champion was taken to hospital after hurting his foot in a race at Tipperary on Thursday night, throwing his fitness into doubt ahead of the first Classic of the season at Newmarket.

However, Fallon’s agent Dave Pollington expects him to be in action over the weekend, although he will skip all the supporting races, as he will the following day when he partners Rumplestiltskin in the fillies’ equivalent.
