Wednesday Racing Tips: Key Timeform data including three 'Horses In Focus'

15:30 Salisbury - Quest For Stars to stay unbeaten

4 (8)

Quest For Stars (Fr)

• J: Connor Planas
• T: Charlie Appleby
• F: 11

• SBK 7/4
• EXC 2.7

'Hot Trainer' Charlie Appleby won Salisbury's Stonehenge Stakes three years running between 2021 and 2023 and looks to have another likely type for the listed race this year with Quest For Stars.

He was the stable's second string on his debut in a valuable novice at Doncaster but looked very professional in holding off a more experienced rival to make a winning start.

Quest For Stars followed up under a penalty in another novice at Sandown last time, showing a good attitude again after making the running and earning the 'Horse In Focus' flag. The step up to a mile is sure to suit.

15:52 Gowran - Moonlit Sun can progress again

6 (8)

Moonlit Sun (Ire)

• J: Shane Foley
• T: Mrs J. Harrington, Ireland
• F: 314

• SBK 8/1
• EXC 7

Moonlit Sun is a filly on the up for 'Hot Trainer' Jessica Harrington, having improved in both her starts since finishing a promising third on her debut, and further progress can see her land Gowran's listed contest.

Her debut form at Naas worked out well, with winner Sparan Nua going on to finish third in the Irish Oaks, and Moonlit Sun was herself successful next time out when returning to Naas to beat a big field in a maiden.

Making her handicap debut at Galway last time, she was beaten less than a length into fourth but was forced wide and would have gone closer still with a better run, earning the 'Horse In Focus' flag.

20:00 Kempton - Rogue Allegiance can follow up

3 (6)

Rogue Allegiance (Ire)

• J: Harry Davies
• T: James Owen
• F: 09-623221

• SBK 5/2
• EXC 3.8

Rogue Allegiance still has the odd quirk, but he looks the sort James Owen's yard will get the best out of, and he can follow up last month's Yarmouth win at Kempton, being an all-weather winner at two.

He ended a run of placed efforts with his win last time, getting up close home having raced freely and earning the 'Horse In Focus' flag as he did well to come from a less-than-ideal position.

Beaten a neck over the same course and distance on his previous start, which was his first start for Owen, Rogue Allegiance should continue to go the right way and can defy a 4 lb rise in the weights.
