Frankie Dettori will miss the ride on likely G1 Coral-Eclipse favourite Emily Upjohn (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) after being banned nine days for careless riding by the Royal Ascot stewards.
The Italian, whose ban runs from July 4-12, picked up the suspension after causing interference to multiple horses aboard King Charles and Queen Camilla's runner Saga (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) in the Listed Wolferton S. The John and Thady Gosden-trained Emily Upjohn takes her chance at Sandown on July 8.
During the first day of Royal Ascot, Dettori was second three times–with Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the G1 Queen Anne S., with Chaldean (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the G1 St James's Palace S. and with Absurde (Fr) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) in the Copper Horse H.
