Trainer John Gosden has issued a warning that Too Darn Hot is only just ready to return as he makes his seasonal debut at York this afternoon.
A leg problem meant the top-rated two-year-old of 2018, who is owned by composer Lord Lloyd-Webber, missed his intended comeback run in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury and the 2,000 Guineas.
How he fares in the mile-and-a-quarter Dante Stakes will determine whether Frankie Dettori’s mount heads for the mile-and-a-half Investec Derby at Epsom on June 1 or reverts to a mile for the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
