Kieren Fallon is looking forward to renewing his association with Aidan O'Brien ahead of his ride on Viscount Nelson in the StanJames.com 2000 Guineas.
Fallon has been recruited by O'Brien to partner the Coolmore operation's alleged third string in the first Classic of the season at Newmarket on Saturday.
Ballydoyle also saddle red-hot favourite St Nicholas Abbey, the mount of Johnny Murtagh, and the Colm O'Donoghue-ridden Fencing Master.
Although Viscount Nelson's odds will be considerably longer, it will be a landmark occasion for Fallon, who has not partnered an O'Brien-trained runner since Dylan Thomas won the 2007 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
'It's exciting to be back riding for Coolmore and Aidan O'Brien,' said the six-times champion jockey, who has won the 2000 Guineas four times in the last 10 years.
'It's a jockey's dream. They have the best horses in the world and are great people to ride for.
'I never thought about whether I'd ride for them again, all I think about is riding as many winners as I can. We all know what Aidan can do and, on the big day, he is the trainer everyone wants to ride for.
'Viscount Nelson is not just making up the numbers. He is by Giant's Causeway and out of (2001 Oaks winner) Imagine.
'He has a fantastic pedigree and was just beaten in the Group Two Champagne Stakes.'
