Frankie Dettori is contemplating a second Derby success aboard the Mahmood Al Zarooni-trained Rewilding.

Dettori landed the Derby for the first time in 2007 on Authorized, but still dreams of winning the race for his boss Sheikh Mohammed and he feels he has a live chance aboard Rewilding.

The colt made a sparking British debut at Goodwood, having been trained in France last year by Andre Fabre, and Dettori feels Rewilding has improved since his seasonal bow.

"I'm delighted to be riding him," Dettori said. "Andre thought a lot of him. One thing is for sure, he stays and he's very laid-back so he's a nice horse to have for Epsom.

"The big question is, is he good enough? We won't find out until the day, but I'm delighted to be on him and I'm looking forward to it.

"One thing I'd love to do is win the race for my boss."
