Salvaging his career was the main thing on Tom Dascombe's mind 12 months ago, but the trainer is now looking forward to the upcoming Flat season and has been buoyed by the arrival of some high-profile owners at his Lambourn yard, including Kia Joorabchian's big-spending Amo Racing operation.

Dascombe moved back to Lambourn last year after he split with Michael Owen, from whose Cheshire base he had trained successfully since 2009.
