Dettori last on racing return The ride on Ed Dunlop's five-year-old in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes was the Italian's first since he regained his licence on Thursday, having served a six-month ban after testing positive for cocaine in France. Beatrice Aurore was settled in fourth early on in the extended mile heat but when the pace upped a notch in the straight, Dettori sent out the distress signals. Dunlop's mare, owned by former ABBA musician Benny Andersson, faded badly in the closing stages but Dettori was just pleased to be back. He had earlier told Channel 4 Racing he was "like a kid on Christmas morning" at the prospect of returning to the saddle. He said: "It's nice to be back. It's a big day for me, six months off to start again. "I was like a kid on Christmas morning, jumping up and down." Dettori only just made it to the track in time for his first mount as traffic problems saw him jogging down the track before weighing out with less than 15 minutes to spare. He said: "I left the car by the road and jumped over the running rail." Dettori's second ride was aboard Fattsota for his Italian compatriot, Marco Botti in the Investec Wealth & Investment Handicap. The five-year-old ran to be fifth having made ground from the rear in the latter stages of the race.
