Balmont to get Dettori touch

Balmont, who was third in last season’s July Cup, will have the assistance of Frankie Dettori for the first time when he reappears at Newmarket tomorrow in the Blandford Bloodstock Abernant Stakes.

The four-year-old colt, who faces a rematch with July Cup second Ashdown Express, was just two lengths behind Frizzante on what was his first run for nine months, having had a setback after his juvenile campaign.
