Bold Approach made all to win the featured E25,000 Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap at Dundalk today, as the Group 3 placed colt scored for trainer Jim Bolger and jockey Kevin Manning.

The home-bred son of Bolger's Classic winner Dawn Approach was a high class juvenile, winning on debut at Leopardstown before filling second place to this year's Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck in the Tyros Stakes, also at Leopardstown.

Today he ended a seven race losing run when beating Sky Seven by a length and a half.

Bolger's traveling head man Ger Flynn later commented “he handled the surface here the last day and he was better off with Jessie's (Harrington, fourth placed Charcor ) horse today. He's won on merit there tonight.

“Kevin gave him a fantastic ride. He dictated it from the front, quickened up and put the race to bed turning in.

“It's a lovely prize and nice for the owners (Rectory Road Holdings Limited) and the boss.”
