Approach heads straight to Newmarket Trainer Jim Bolger has delivered an upbeat progress report about New Approach, who is among the 92-strong entry for the 200th running of the Stan James 2000 Guineas, which will be staged at Newmarket on Saturday, May 3rd. New Approach, the sponsor´s 2/1 favourite for the opening Classic of 2008, is scheduled to return to the NatWest Rowley Mile on May 3rd. Unbeaten in his five career starts and the top-rated juvenile of 2007, the son of Galileo has followed a similar path to that of former stablemate Teofilo, who headed the betting for last year´s renewal before being retired through injury. New Approach successfully stepped up to Group One company, winning the Group One National Stakes at the Curragh on September 16th, en-route to victory in the Group One Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket on Champions´ Day, October 20th. He will carry the colours of HRH Princess Haya of Jordan this year. "New Approach is very well and has done exceptionally over the winter," said the trainer. "He has put on a lot of condition and most of that has now been honed into muscle. "He looks very well at the moment - a much stronger horse than last year. He has enough racing experience already and will go straight to Newmarket for the Guineas."
