Kieren Fallon returns to the saddle at Kempton today after serving a 21-day suspension for failing to ride out for first place on Ballinger Ridge at Lingfield last month.

Fallon, a 4-7 shot to retain his champion jockey's title, has six mounts at the Sunbury track including Dumaran in the feature Coral Rosebery Stakes.

The rider has been out of action for three weeks after allowing Rye to grab victory in the shadow of the post in the betdirect.co.ukMedian Auction Maiden Stakes on March 2nd.

Fallon has his first ride back on Barry Hills' Spring Surprise in the opening turftours.comMasaka Stakes, which can be seen live on Channel 4.

Dumaran follows next in the day's main event with the jockey on Gulf in the two-mile alanbrazilracing.comQueen's Prize.

He will then be aboard Gravardlax for Brian Meehan in the Listed alanbrazilracing.comEaster Stakes, for which seven have been declared.

Another mount for Meehan beckons in the five-furlong turftours.comEBF Maiden Stakes where Fallon is on Leonalto while he will then be on Petardias Magic in the closing turftours.comHandicap.
