JOHN GOSDEN'S St Leger winner Shantou (Frankie Dettori) spearheads a strong British entry in the Group One Gran Premio del Jockey Club E Coppa d'Oro in Milan tomorrow.

The mile-and-a-half contest will not be easy, with Paul Cole's seasoned campaigner Strategic Choice (Richard Quinn) and Michael Stoute's Sacrament (Walter Swinburn) in opposition.

A total of eight go to post, with the Group One-winning pair Slicious and Hollywood Dream looking best of the rest.

Gosden's Diadem Stakes third Leap For Joy (Dettori) bids to repeat her 1995 win in the Group Three Premo Omenoni, in which Hever Golf Rose (Quinn) attempts to end a 13-race losing sequence. Richard Hannon's Brave Edge (Dane O'Neill) also runs in the five-furlong event.
