Frankie booked for Palace.

Byline: DAVID YATES

FRANKIE DETTORI will bid to add another top-level prize to his golden summer when he rides Consort in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot next Tuesday.

With Ryan Moore aboard Newmarket and Curragh 2,000 Guineas winner Gleneagles, Sir Michael Stoute has turned to the Italian fresh from winning the Derby on Golden Horn to partner the Highclere-owned colt.

Consort defended his unbeaten record with a victory in Sandown's Listed Heron Stakes on his belated return a fortnight ago and Dettori is looking forward to the challenge.

"There could be two Guineas winners in there Make Believe, who won the French version, as well as Gleneagles so it's one of the hottest races of the week," said Dettori.

"But if Sir Michael runs a horse in a race like that, he doesn't do it to make up the numbers." WILLIAM HILL ODDS 4-7 Gleneagles, 4 Make Believe, 6 Territories, 8 Consort, 14 bar.
