Michael Appleby sends one of his runners to the group three event on Newbury's race card on Saturday in the form of Raasel. The six-year-old arrives at this contest on the back of three extremely solid outings, finishing third in the Group Two Qatar Stakes at Goodwood in August, first in a class two Haydock contest earlier this month and second in the Listed Scarborough Stakes at Doncaster last weekend.
He has developed into a great performer at this sort of level over the last year or so and he's massively respected in this field. James Doyle will do the steering.
