If Frankie Dettori had been riding Forest Of Dean in the opening Unibet Handicap (1.50) at Goodwood, you can bet your life the bookmakers would have him clear favourite – and I think he probably should be anyway.

Long gone are the days when Frankie could do 8st 4lb, so Harry Bentley takes charge of John Gosden's three-year-old, who hails from the red-hot London Gold Cup at Newbury in May.
