Dandy Due to Start Back

Dandy Man could return to the track in Haydock´s Betfred.com Temple Stakes on May 24 as connections prepare their speedster for Royal Ascot.

The Mozart gelding has yet to make an appearance for Godolphin since being switched from the care of Tracey Collins and was not declared for Sunday´s Stan James 08000 383384 Palace House Stakes.

As well as holding entries in the King´s Stand and Golden Jubilee at Ascot, Dandy Man is in the Duke of York Hearthstead Homes Stakes - but could wait for Haydock later in the month.

"He´s going to miss the weekend and we´re just going to give him a little bit more time," said Godolphin´s racing manager, Simon Crisford.

"He´s probably going to head for the Temple Stakes at Haydock or something like that.

"He must have fast conditions but he´s in good form and we´re hoping to go to Royal Ascot," he told At The Races.
