Kieren Fallon will have only his second ever ride in next month’s Weatherbys Champion Bumper on Old McDonald, which is trained by fellow Crusheen Parishioner Noel Glynn.

The six-times champion jockey rode Jonjo O’Neill’s Refinement to finish fourth behind Missed That at the Cheltenham Festival in 2005 and will return to Prestbury Park on March 17. Old McDonald opened his account at the third attempt at Ludlow in December and Glynn is delighted to have secured Fallon’s services.

“We are from the same parish in County Clare and Kieren was a neighbour of mine, so I decided to get him booked and I couldn’t have got much better,” Glynn told breakingnews.ie..
