Charlie Appleby’s stable is some way short of its title-winning form of the past two seasons in the current campaign, but there are still dozens of lightly raced, blue-blooded juveniles at Moulton Paddocks and Aablan (3.38) is an interesting runner for the yard in the Group Three Solario Stakes at Sandown Park on Saturday.
On paper, Aablan’s debut success in a seven-furlong maiden at Newmarket in late July gives him something to find with Mortlake, the likely favourite, who powered five lengths clear of his field to break his duck at the second attempt last time out.
