KIEREN FALLON returns to riding action at Doncaster today while his legal advisers consider whether to lodge an appeal against the jockey's latest brush with authority.

He will start to recoup a portion of the £1,500 he was fined for misleading the Jockey Club's Disciplinary Committee with two mounts for current employer Lynda Ramsden and one for Henry Cecil, who he joins next season.

With just two more days of his 1996 campaign left, one which has yielded a best ever tally of 135 winners, Fallon must hope he can end the season on a positive note.

But a campaign that has also seen him serve 20 days suspension could be prolonged if he decides to challenge the Jockey Club's decision to find him guilty of providing deliberately misleading information at a previous disciplinary hearing.

Fallon, serving the last day of a five day suspension, was unavailable yesterday and although an appeal appears unlikely, his solicitor Stephen Parker refused to rule out such action.

"We have not made a decision. We have up to seven days in which to lodge an appeal and all options are open," he said. "I can't comment any further. If we do appeal then an application will be sent to the Jockey Club within the next seven days."

At Wednesday's inquiry, the stewards ruled that Fallon had misled the committee about his whereabouts on the night before a July 10th hearing which he failed to attend, claiming to be lost in traffic.

But details of how the Committee believed the rider had spent that evening remain a mystery, with neither side prepared to reveal the contents of the allegations subsequently presented to the Jockey Club.

. Richard Dunwoody is teaming up again with Martin Pipe in a bid to land tomorrow's Tote Silver Trophy. The former champion jockey has been booked by his former boss to partner Silver Shred in the two and a half mile handicap hurdle at Chepstow.

. Dean Gallagher will be back in action tomorrow, exactly five weeks after breaking his collarbone in a fall from ill fated hurdler Meanus Miller at Chepstow. The Irishman will be riding for Charlie Brooks at Uttoxeter, where he is set to partner the Lambourn trainer's River Bounty, Mywend's and Florida Sky.

. Trainer Les Eyre continued his golden run of form when Peep O Day sprang a 25 to 1 surprise at Musselburgh yesterday. It has been an unforgettable year for Eyre and Peep O Day's triumph moved the North Yorkshire handler onto the 67 mark - his highest seasonal tally. Now he is hoping to end the campaign in a blaze of glory with Celestial Choir, who is strongly fancied for Saturday's Tote Credit November Handicap at Doncaster.
