Fallon set to renew old acquaintances in Challenge

Kieren Fallon will takes the reins on Ascription as he bids for compensation at Ascot today after being ruled out of last week’s Cambridgeshire.

Unsuitably quick ground saw Ascription bypass the Newmarket heat with Palmer biding his time in favour of the £150,000 Betfred “Goals Galore” Challenge Cup over seven furlongs in Berkshire.

The four-year-old must shoulder top weight in the race with his rating of 109 and with William Buick required at Newmarket, Fallon will be in the plate.
