Leicester double keeps Fallon in title chase

WINS from Jack’s Revenge and Franciscan at Leicester saw Kieren Fallon erode Paul Hanagan’s lead in the jockeys’ championship to seven.

Fallon has spoken in recent days about his enjoyment of the competition with Hanagan and Silvestre De Sousa as he rides in as many races as possible from Group One contenders to platers.

The options in Oadby were more of a humdrum variety and he kicked off by forcing George Baker’s 8-13 favourite Jack’s Revenge home in the Stoat Selling Stakes.
