The world’s most famous jockey – who now drives full time in the United States – will be on the Berkshire track this week, but will not compete.

Dettori, forever famous for the beautiful seven at Ascot, said he turned the chance to race at the largest festival of the flat.

And although there is a part of him that ‘maybe’, it admits that this quickly disappears after a few glasses of bubbles.

If someone deserves to drop his hair on Ascot, it’s Frankie.

But gamblers want him to be sober to deliver his top tips – and he has an appropriate banker in that respect.

Dettori, that submitted for bankruptcy In March, a Mullins-Hardoper chose in the very last race of the meeting as his banker in the non-group races.

He thinks that sober can do the job for the biggest trainer of Jump Racing in the Queen Alexandra Stakes about 2m5F.

A double winner of Group 2 in France, Mullins bought the former Andre Fabre-Train runner at the Arqana Arc Sale in October last year.

Never to hurry to hurry his top talent, Mullins remained sober, who also finished third in the group 1 Prix Royal-Oak in 2022, to the Gallops Closutton by the winter.

But the six -year -old son of Camelot was Finally unleashed in an apparently ordinary 2m4F starting obstacle in Killarney last month.

Initially available at 5-6, soberly declined from the shelves to win on 4-11 under Mullins’ No1 Rider Paul Townend.

Although jumping did not really look like his game – he won £ 275,000 racing on the flat in France – sober, who called gamblers a ‘exciting’ prospect, finally nicely heated on his task.

He initially received a Gold Cup submission, but is stored for the handicap.

Dettori, when asked about his banker for the week in handicaps Stakesaid: “I couldn’t omit him – Willie Mullins.

“His runner in the Queen Alexandra Stakes – Sober.”

But it is more than six Furlongs Dettori goes for his second banker.

Shadow of Light was a huge eye -catcher in the 2,000 Guineas and, dropped to the shorter journey, Dettori thinks he can land the £ 650,000 Wokingham on Friday.

The former Godolphin Jockey said about their runner for trainer Charlie Appleby: “This is my nap in the group 1 of the week – Shadow of Light.

“He showed great speed in the Guineas and with the most good horses that went to St James’s Palace, I think this leaves the door open for him to show his things.

“He is my banker of the week in group 1’s – Goudveld would have been a bit obvious!”
