Dettori cautious ahead of Ascot

Frankie Dettori is “more hopeful than confident” about the form of the Godolphin string going into the showpiece meeting of the year at Royal Ascot.

After shutting up shop for two weeks at the end of May, Saeed bin Suroor sent out Librettist to land a conditions race at Nottingham before Satchem won a Listed contest at Goodwood on Saturday to signal a return to form for the operation.
