Jockey Timmy Murphy will return to the saddle at Stratford this weekend for the first time since he was arrested last month.
The 27-year-old jump jockey was charged with indecently assaulting a woman flight attendant on a plane travelling to Heathrow from Japan on April 14th after partnering Cenkos in the Nakayama Grand Jump.
He was bailed earlier this month at Uxbridge Magistrates Court in London and is due to reappear there on June 13th for a committal hearing to send the case to a Crown Court.
In a statement released today, Murphy said: "I am pleased to be returning to riding and I am looking forward to building on last season's best-ever total of 98 winners.
"During the past five weeks I have been receiving treatment for alcohol-related problems and I am very grateful to all those who have helped me to get back to a position where I feel confident to return to riding".
