Kieren Fallon will put his case to the Horseracing Regulatory Authority on Friday to have his riding licence reinstated.

The licence of the six-times champion, along with those of Fergal Lynch and Darren Williams, expired after they were charged on Monday in relation to the City of London police investigation into alleged race-fixing.

They are all set to appear at the HRA's London headquarters on Shaftesbury Avenue. The hearings will take place from 9.30am.
Paul Struthers, public relations manager for the HRA, said: 'All jockeys will be legally represented and in attendance. We envisage that the hearings will last into the afternoon and that an announcement will be made to the press at some time before 3.30pm.

'Clearly, the nature of the representations may mean that the hearings could run into an additional day, although at this stage we are hopeful this will not be the case.'

Fallon, who is hoping to be cleared to partner Aussie Rules for Aidan O'Brien in Saturday's Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, has been given permission to continue riding in Ireland by the Turf Club.
