Lynch fit to chase his ton

Fergal Lynch, who missed a winning ride on Harry The Hoover at Doncaster on Saturday due to illness, is set to return to action at Wolverhampton.

Fergal Lynch, who missed a winning ride on Harry The Hoover at Doncaster on Saturday due to illness, is set to return to action at Wolverhampton.

The jockey is on the brink of his first century and is keen to reach the landmark before leaving to work in the United States during the winter.

His agent Richard Hale explained Lynch's absence from the final day of the turf Flat season: "He was up all Friday night being sick - he wasn't very well at all.

"He's back on Monday with three at Wolverhampton. It was just one of those 24-hour jobs."

And reflecting on the missed winner Hale added: "That would have been 99 if he'd won on that on Saturday.

"He wants to get to the 100 then he's off to America. His brother trains out there and Fergal has got a job out there. He just needs those two winners before he goes."
