@AtTheRaces @barryrobson News: Dettori back in the groove: Frankie Dettori proved you can't keep a good man down as he booted home a winn... http://bit.ly/XUGi6K

Dettori leaves Godolphin after 18 years! Lots of great memories...and flying dismounts! Ciao Frankie!

Nacarat is set to make his seasonal reappearance in the Betfred Monet's Garden Old Roan Chase at Aintree on Saturday. Trainer Tom George hopes the two-and-a-half-mile limited handicap will leave the 11-year-old spot-on for another crack at the william Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. "Our plan at the moment is to run as long as they don't get any more rain and the ground stays as it is," said the Slad-based handler. "We'll see how he is. He worked well on Tuesday and is ready to go. "He came back in on July 1, so he's had plenty of time, but there are very few races we can run him in. "He's dropping back in trip and this race is not going to bottom him. He's in good form and he's been working well. He's had a racecourse gallop for a trip away. "He'll come on for it but he's got to have a run now and then the chances are we won't run him again until Christmas in the King George, which he enjoys" .

Ayr...four to follow!

This afternoon's meeting at Ayr goes ahead after the track passed a 6.30am inspection. Thursday's meeting at the Scottish venue was abandoned due to a waterlogged track but conditions have improved sufficiently to race today. A dry night has seen the ground turn to heavy and officials have declared the course as fit to race. Four to follow in an Each Way Yankee Bet 2.20 Boston Rocker, 3.25 Take it To The Max, 4.35 Sphinx, 5.10 Holy Roman Warrior G` Luck!

Encke`s Next Move Dubai

Saturday's Ladbrokes St Leger winner Encke could be given the option of making his next appearance on the track in Dubai during the spring. In dashing hopes for Camelot to secure a first English Triple Crown in 42 years by thwarting the hot favourite by three-quarters of a length, Encke was providing Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin operation with their sixth victory in the season's final Classic. It was announced straight after the race that the colt would not be seen in action again this year, but Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford provided an update in France on Sunday. He said: "Encke is very well and he won't run again this season, but we will keep in mind the middle-distance championship races, starting off with races like the Coronation Cup and King George. "It has not been discussed if he might go for the Sheema Classic in Dubai, but it's a possibility."

We`re Back...with a nice couple of WINNERS!

After Dr Yes` success yesterday at Bath we advised a bet today on Moonlight Cloud who just edged out Farhh in a tactical race for the Qatar Prix du Moulin at Longhamp. Frankie Dettori set out to dictate affairs on the Godolphin-owned four-year-old Farhh, who has been well-beaten by Frankel in his last two starts, but he could not shake off Freddie Head's filly, who ranged alongside him a furlong out. She responded to Thierry Jarnet's urgings to get her head in front close home for a narrow success, her third at Group One level. The pair pulled a long way clear of Sarkiyla, with the Alan McCabe-trained Caspar Netscher last of the four runners. Head said: "She's wonderful, how tough she is, she's a fighter. She will miss the Foret and go to Santa Anita (for the Breeders' Cup) and she could maybe stay in training at five, but I'll have to talk to (owner) George Strawbridge about that. "Six furlongs is too sharp for her, I think that's why she got beaten at Ascot. Jarnet told me that the last 400 metres, they galloped. It was a real mile."

Another One For Her Majesty

Hats off for a Royal winner! Free Verse and Brendan Powell Jnr, who is more commonly known as a jumps jockey, landed the first race at Newmarket this afternoon for trainer Richard Hannon. This was The Queen's eleventh winner of 2012, resulting in an impressive 24% strike rate of winners to runners. Not bad in Diamond Jubilee year!
