Godolphin sounded a Classic warning with Noverre in France on Sunday and Celtic Silence could have the boys in blue smiling again in the Convergent Communications Dante Stakes at York tomorrow.

The Group Two event is a major trial for the Vodafone Derby and was won last year by subsequent Epsom runner-up, Sakhee.

Celtic Silence was bought by Sheikh Mohammed's team from owner Peter Savill last term and is a lovely-looking colt with a huge amount of potential.

A son of French Derby hero Celtic Swing, he ran just twice last year with his finest moment coming in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot when trained by Mark Johnston.

Any plans to run in the Racing Post Trophy or Royal Lodge were scrapped when Godolphin swooped and he was shipped off to winter in Dubai.

His one run so far this season resulted in a fine fourth over nine furlongs in the UAE Derby on an unfamiliar dirt surface in March. He is entitled to improve a lot on that outing now he is back on turf and stepped up in trip.

Lynda Ramsden had her first winner since returning to this country with Mastermind in the Spring Cup at Newbury and he can oblige again in the PricewaterhouseCoopers Hambleton Rated Stakes (Showcase Handicap).

Mastermind, who was trained by Paul Cole last year, ran a cracking first race for his new connections when fourth in the Lincoln and he came with a determined late run at Newbury to win comfortably.

The horse was highly-tried last year and ran in both the Sagitta 2000 Guineas and French Derby, although he found that class too much for him.

Newbury runner-up Pulau Tioman was just behind him in the Doncaster race and with Lincoln winner Nimello having obliged since, his form this term is hard to knock.

Cayman Sunset put up a fine performance in the Listed Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket's Guineas meeting.

Ed Dunlop's filly was held up behind a decent pace but made smooth progress to win in good style from Cambridgeshire heroine Katy Nowaitee.

A repeat of that effort should be good enough in the Convergent Networks Middleton Stakes.

Mrs Ramsden's Bishops Court is a tough and genuine hold-up sprinter and he should give a good account in the opening Convergent Systems Avaya Communications Stakes.

The seven-year-old generally campaigns in good company and is equally at home on firm or soft ground.

His seasonal bow - his first back in the care of the Beckhampton trainer - saw him finish a good third at Nottingham in a conditions event.

He came out best of the far side runners but was foiled by Ellens Lad andFurther Outlook on the stands' side.
