Binary boost for Fallon

The champion jockey, who could be given a lengthy spell on the sidelines by the Jockey Club Disciplinary Committee under the ’totting-up’ procedure, had the mount as owner Khalid Abdullah’s retained rider is serving a suspension imposed at the Ebor meeting on the Knavesmire last month.
