Fallon sides with Recital in Derby

KIEREN Fallon has chosen to ride the Aidan O’Brien-trained Recital, rather than Ed Dunlop’s Native Khan, in the Investec Derby.

The three-time winner of the Premier Classic has opted for the colt whom he partnered to victory in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial, rather than go for the 2000 Guineas third.

O’Brien is set to have four runners, with Christophe Soumillon aboard Dante runner-up Seville, Colm O’Donoghue riding Treasure Beach and the trainer’s son, Joseph, on Memphis Tennessee.
