Frankie Dettori’s big ride of the week may be on Stradivarius in Tuesday's Goodwood Cup but the three-time champion has an even bigger date in his diary when daughter Ella rides in Thursday’s Magnolia Cup.

Ella, 20, said: ‘It’s such a big stage and crowds are back so it is very nerve-wracking. I know it is a bit of fun for charity but I feel a bit of pressure and it is quite a daunting thing to do. I just want him to be proud. I feel like I have a lot to live up to and I’m trying not to stress myself out.’
