Racing: Kieren Fallon landed his first winners since being banned from riding in Britain as Flamingo Guitar hit the target at Naas.

The Horseracing Regulatory Authority barred Fallon from riding in Britain after he was charged as part of a police investigation into alleged race-fixing. His appeal is currently being held in his absence in London.

However, Fallon is still licensed in this country and he is still able to ride here pending his trial which is expected to take place next year.

He advertised his skills in fine fashion aboard the David Wachman-trained 4-6 favourite, taking up a prominent position aboard before kicking on around two furlongs out.

Flamingo Guitar, who is entered in the Baileys Irish Champion Stakes, kept on well to prevail by a length and three-quarters from Gist with Lily Elsie back in third.

Fallon later made it a 2-1 double when he delivered Hitchcock with a perfectly-timed run in the Brophy Farrell Real Estate Alliance Handicap.

Aidan O'Brien's charge was sent off the 4-5 favourite and he duly obliged with head win over Worldly Wise.
