'Afraid' Dettori back in business

Frankie Dettori has admitted he is a "a bit afraid" for the future but is game for the challenge of rebuilding his career after serving a six-month ban.

The 42-year-old returned to the saddle for the first time since completing his suspension for a positive drugs test in France with three rides at Epsom on Friday.

Although Dettori failed to trouble the judge, with a fifth place the best his mounts could muster, the six-times champion jockey was just pleased to back on track and is now keen to draw a line under the darkest chapter of his riding career.

He said: "I want to stop thinking about it. I've been through it - the ups, downs and in betweens. I'm delighted to be back, what's in the past is in the past, I've served my time and it's time to crack on.
