Dettori will have three chances to partner more winners for Gosden on Wednesday, as the third day of British racing's resumption brings with it the Group 3 Unibet Classic Trial and the Listed EBF/Unibet Snowdrop Fillies' Stakes, and the jockey has leading chances in both races.
Hypothetical is Dettori's ride in the Classic Trial, and he added: "The Classic Trial looks a hot little race but it's the first trial so it's bound to be. With Rab [Havlin] riding a winner yesterday [Monday] and me riding one today, we know our horses are running well and I'm looking forward to riding Hypothetical."
Before Hypothetical, Dettori will start his book of rides with Sun Bear in a 1m2f fillies' novice stakes (2.10). Narrowly beaten by stablemate Moonlight In Paris on debut at Nottingham last November, the daughter of Dubawi has a fine middle-distance pedigree and is well fancied to enjoy a winning return under Dettori.
Next for the rider is Hypothetical in the Classic Trial (2.45). A 550,000gns purchase as a yearling, Hypothetical earned Derby quotes of 33-1 after a dominant five-length debut victory at Chelmsford last December and another success on Wednesday would likely earn shorter ante-post quotes for next month's rearranged Epsom Classic.
Completing the trio of chances for Dettori on Wednesday is Scentasia in the Snowdrop (3.55). The daughter of Cape Cross showed a liking for the all-weather at the backend of last year with a brace of Listed victories at Lingfield, the second of which in November came with Dettori aboard.
She appeared a filly on the upgrade when last seen, but will need to be with stablemate and favourite Nazeef seeking a four-timer, while dual Group 1 winner and 2018 1,000 Guineas heroine Billesdon Brook is also among the opposition
