Racing:Kieren Fallon will have his appeal against a 10-day riding ban heard at British Horseracing Authority headquarters first thing on Thursday morning.

Fallon will be attempting to overturn a suspension which currently keeps him out of the Qipco 2000 Guineas and a ride on the leading contender Native Khan.

The jockey was ordered to sit out between April 27th-May 6th after the stewards found him guilty of not riding out to the winning line aboard Sukhothai in a handicap at Kempton last Wednesday night.

After Fallon's appeal at 9.30am will be that of Grand National-winning rider Jason Maguire (11.30am).
