START WITH HORSERACING FRANKIE’S SCEPTIC

DENIS HOGAN hopes to give Frankie Dettori a full set of Group One races when the Italian partners Sceptical for him in Saturday’s Darley July Cup at Newmarket.

Having successfully won the only Group One that had eluded him at Royal Ascot with Alpine Star in the Coronation Stakes. the July Cup is now the only top-class race in Britain missing from Dettori’s CV.

“That would be something if it happened for Frankie on Saturday,” said Hogan. “The horse ran a cracker at Royal Ascot when Frankie rode him.”

Dettori feels he should have won on Sceptical when finishing third behind Hello Youmzain in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. “I may have gone too soon, and we got caught,” said Dettori. “I have told Denis I should have won.

“He’s the one that got away on the last day.”

Hogan has worked wonders with Sceptical since purchasing the Godolphin unraced castoff for £2,800 – now the four-year-old has banked £71,098.

But Hogan was not blaming Dettori for the gelding’s defeat.

“I don’t know if he got to the front too soon, hard to say,” said Hogan. “I suppose it is easy to say that now, but the horse tied up on Frankie and did not get to the line.

“We’ll try to do something

IN ASSOCIATION WITH different next time.” Ladbrokes believe he can turn the tables with Hello Youmzain as he is 4-1 with his conqueror 9-2.

Golden Horde, winner of the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, attempts to give his trainer Clive Cox a third victory in the sixfurlong dash and heads the market at 11-4.

As for the opposition, Hogan added: “Yeah, we are entitled to go and take them on again.

“I suppose, to be honest, what we proved at Ascot is that there is not a lot between three or four of them.

■HOGAN was unsuccessful with his appeal yesterday against a €3,000 fine over the running of Narynkol, who was considered a non-trier at the Curragh last month.
