Charlie Appleby has a creditable record at this August-long festival and said, AVolkan Star brought a very progressive profile into the Prix du Lys and duly obliged.

We are feeling our way through the grades and hope he can run another good race.@ He meets Claudio Marzocco=s Port Guillaume (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), who lost his unbeaten record but nothing in defeat when fifth in the 10 1/2-furlong G1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly on Horses on parade for the 2019 Goffs Land Rover Sale | Goffs July 5.
