Bolger To Ponder Approach Options

Jim Bolger's star juvenile New Approach could be seen again this season after all.

Bolger had suggested after the colt won the National Stakes at the Curragh that he was finished for the campaign.

The unbeaten son of Galileo, in which Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud have a 50% share, holds entries in the Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket and the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster.

'It still hasn't been decided if he'll run again this season, but it is a possibility,' said Bolger.

'I will talk to Sheikh Mohammed and John Ferguson in Newmarket this week and we will arrive at a decision.

'He's ready to go if we do decide to go.

'He's improving every day and the form of the National Stakes (Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner Rio De La Plata was second) has worked out in every possible way. I said at the time it was the race of the year.'
