DETTORI`S RETURN ON ATLANTIS

Frankie Dettori will have two rides when he returns to action at Newmarket tomorrow.

Atlantis Prince in the Tote Exacta Conditions Stakes will be the Italian`s first mount in public since he broke his ankle in the plane crash that claimed the life of pilot Patrick Mackey on June 1st.

And the colt`s trainer Sean Woods is hopeful that his charge can give Dettori a victory on his comeback.

'He`s a nice two-year-old, he did everything positively first time up at Epsom,' Woods said.

'Our horses come on for their first run and I`d be very hopeful.'

Dettori himself has spoken of his fears that he may have 'lost his bottle' when he returns to the saddle.

However Woods is confident that Dettori will soon be back to his best. The trainer said: 'He`s a great jockey and I`m sure he`ll be fine.

'Frankie`s coming back from a plane crash not a horse-riding accident - people have got to put that into perspective.

'He may have changed his priorities but I`m sure as soon as he gets the thrill back of riding again he`ll be as hungry as ever.'

Dettori`s other mount at Newmarket will be the David Barron-trained Dim Sums in feature Tote Scoop6 Nursery.

Among the gelding`s rivals will be Foodbroker Fancy, ridden by Ray Cochrane who was injured in the same accident.

Dettori had originally been due to return at Goodwood today but his mount Maidaan was not declared for the Theo Fennell Lennox Stakes. - PA
