Big Mojo handed Sandy Lane assignment at Haydock
With Tom Marquand not available, William Buick has been booked to take his place.
'We didn't confirm him for the Temple and entered him for the Sandy Lane,' said Appleby.
'At this stage, the Commonwealth Cup is the plan at Ascot, so it made sense to have another run over six. We may as well keep him against the three-year-olds.'
Big Mojo won Ascot's Commonwealth Cup Trial on his seasonal reappearance over six furlongs.
Others in the Sandy Lane include Richard Fahey's unbeaten Mill Reef winner Powerful Glory, Charlie Appleby's Symbol Of Honour, Charlie Johnston's Dash Dizzy and Adrian Murray's Arizona Blaze among 11 entries.
The Temple has 14 confirmations as an early-closing race.
They include Ralph Beckett's Breeders' Cup winner Starlust, Karl Burke's Night Raider, Ed Walker's Mgheera and Jim Goldie's rapidly improving American Affair.
There are 19 in the Betfred 'Nifty 50' British EBF Hedge of Oak Stakes, with Running Lion looking to bounce back from a lacklustre showing at Newmarket last time out.
Diamond Rain, Estrange and Ejaabiyah are among other possibles for the Listed race for fillies and mares.

Sam Hawkens books Australian ticket with Summer strike
On a hat-trick following wins at Newcastle and Hamilton, Tom Marquand's mount was good value for the winning margin of half a length over Dancing In Paris, with Aeronautic a neck further behind in third. Haggas was completing a quick-fire double after landing the opening Glorious Stakes with admirable veteran Al Aasy. Of Sam Hawkens, he told Racing TV: 'I was pleased with him, he's really improved this year. Sam, our son, bought him last summer online, we didn't really like him much when he came and he ran two pretty ordinary races. 'We gelded him over the winter and he's taken a bit of time, but the horse has really thrived and is obviously in good form and on good terms with himself as he went to Newcastle and won and went to Hamilton and won and he's come for a big race today and won. 'He'll go to Australia I think. We've booked a place in quarantine on September 5 and the race is on October 18, so I think we'll go now.'
