Bin Suroor backs Dettori and says Real World Eclipse ride is still up for grabs

Frankie Dettori could get an immediate opportunity back in the big time and in the Godolphin blue with which he became synonymous after Saeed bin Suroor said the jockey was in the mix to ride the classy Real World in Saturday's Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.

Dettori may have been left reeling by the news John and Thady Gosden will no longer use him on horses at their star-studded stable, but Bin Suroor on Monday insisted he would back his former ally where he could and still believes he is the best in the business.

In Real World, the Newmarket trainer has a live 6-1 player who chased home the brilliant Baaeed on his last two starts in the Lockinge and Queen Anne.
