Royal Ascot last month was something of a struggle for Charlie Appleby but his “home” meeting this week has been a different story and the former champion trainer will head into the final day of the July Festival looking for a second Group One in as many days after Cinderella’s Dream edged out January, the favourite, in the Falmouth Stakes on Friday.
Appleby has two runners in Saturday’s July Cup, the midsummer sprint championship, including the probable favourite, Notable Speech, and ended the middle afternoon of the meeting with six wins from 13 starters over the first two days.
