Our man on the spot casts his expert eye over the Classic hopes in action

Frankie Dettori, who had earlier been on board Too Darn Hot on the Al Bahathri before the 2,000 Guineas favourite was ruled out of his reappearance in the Greenham, jumped in his Mercedes to cross town for a 10am appointment on the Rowley Mile with last year's Prix Morny winner, whom he may ride in the Qipco 1,000 Guineas next month. The daughter of Oasis Dream covered six and half furlongs with a lead horse, but indicated she wasn't quite ready for a trial at the same track next week. Owners Bill and Tim Gredley are also pondering a drop back in trip and a possible shot at the Commonwealth Cup.
