Frankie adds the fizz to July festival as sabbatical ends with Mighty Ulysses

Relax. Frankie is back in Hollywood. After a couple of weeks of furlough, Dettori has got his old job back and he clocks in again for John and Thady Gosden at 4.10pm on the July course at Newmarket.

It is the opening day of the Moët & Chandon July festival and, not for the first time, Frankie has added an extra bit of fizz. The band are back together for Mighty Ulysses in the Edmondson Hall Solicitors Sir Henry Cecil Stakes and we will all be fighting for positions in the moshpit to find out whether they sound as good as they used to.

Not since the well-fancied Honiton trailed in tenth of 13 in the penultimate race of an unproductive Royal Ascot on June 18 has Dettori sat on a horse for the Gosdens in public. John called it a sabbatical, others said he was sacked for good, but none of us really knew what the hell was going on.
