Dettori has three rides for John Gosden at Newmarket on Saturday.

Among his rides is exciting filly Pennywhistle who runs in the Group 3 Sweet Solera Stakes.

Cochrane, said: "Frankie's going to Newmarket. John is going to have three runners there, including Princess Haya's filly in the Group Three (Pennywhistle, Sweet Solera Stakes).

"Hopefully Frankie will have seven rides. He can't be everywhere, I'm afraid."
