Kieren Fallon will miss the Guineas meeting at Newmarket later this month – despite being partially successful in his appeal against a 10-day riding suspension.

Fallon had his appeal heard at British Horseracing Authority headquarters this morning and although the disciplinary panel downgraded his suspension from 10 days to seven, he will be banned from April 27-May 3.
The news confirms Fallon misses the ride on Ed Dunlop’s big Qipco 2000 Guineas hope Native Khan, whom he guided to an impressive comeback victory in the Craven Stakes.
