Racing:Kieren Fallon will sit out his two rides at Royal Ascot this afternoon. The former champion jarred his neck while riding out this morning, but is expected to take his rides at the meeting tomorrow.

His agent Terry Norman said: "He was advised to miss today and to have physio. It's more a precaution than anything, he will definitely be okay tomorrow and the rest of the week."

Eddie Ahern will take the mount on Nicky Henderson's Veiled in the Ascot Stakes at 5pm.
