Top British trainer Luca Cumani has had a scare with fire ripping through the roof of one of his stable blocks at Newmarket.
All the horses were safely evacuated at the Bedford House stables on Monday morning.
Cumani is planning on bringing out Mount Athos for the Melbourne Cup and rates the horse as his best chance of victory in the 3200m race.
Mount Athos is the early favourite for the Melbourne Cup following an effortless win in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury last month.
