Colour Vision made a most impressive debut for the Godolphin team in the Blue Square Levy Board Sagaro Stakes at Kempton.
The four-year-old enjoyed a fine end to 2011 when trained by Mark Johnston, winning at Pontefract before placing in the Cesarewitch and the British Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot.
Dettori was happy to sit out the back for much of the two-mile journey and he still had each of his five rivals to pass at the top of the straight, but when the Italian jockey did go for his mount, the response was impressive as the Saeed bin Suroor's grey (9-2) finished strongly to take the Group Three prize by a length and a half - without being seriously troubled.

Another smart two-year-old from Richard Hannon's seemingly inexhaustible supply-line provided Richard Hughes with his first winner of the season at Kempton.
Hughes, who only returned on Tuesday from his 50-day suspension imposed in India, did not have to work too hard on Lyric Ace as he readily came a length and three-quarters clear in the Bet At Bluesquare.com Conditions Stakes, who may head over to Ireland following that success.

Putra pounces in Paradise thriller.

Sri Putra secured his first victory in over two years in the Get Your Bet On At Blue Square Paradise Stakes at Kempton.
Neil Callan sat towards the rear for much of the one-mile journey before unleashing his mount with a challenge down the centre of the course in the straight.
Saamidd was making his first appearance since finishing down the field in last year's 2000 Guineas and although he missed the break, Godolphin's inmate was really motoring against the stands' rail at the finish. The two of them flashed past the post almost as one, but the photo-finish revealed 11-2 chance Sri Putra had held on by a nose.
