Rekindling has Dante target Rekindling is set to test his Derby claims in the Betfred Dante Stakes at York on May 18th. An impressive winner of a Gowran maiden last September, the son of High Chaparral then finished last of 13 runners on what was his final start for the now-retired David Wachman in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud. Rekindling's new trainer, Joseph O'Brien, was not sure what to expect when he made his seasonal reappearance in last month's Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown, but he looked a top-class prospect in putting some talented colts to the sword. O'Brien said: "He came out of his run in Leopardstown in good form and the plan is for him to go for the Dante. "We just felt York would be a good stepping-stone to Epsom. "It's always a very competitive race and we'll know exactly where we stand afterwards." Rekindling is currently a best-priced 25-1 for the Investec Derby at Epsom on June 3.
