Formscan By John O'Riordan - Dundalk runner-up FIRST APPROACH can go one place better. The Aidan O'Brien-trained No Nay Never colt made eyecatching late headway to take minor honours on that initial run last month. Sure to have benefited from that introduction, he can make the most of a potentially favourable high draw. Award Ceremony, who finished third in that aforementioned maiden, is also entitled to be sharper now. Donnacha O'Brien's filly ran green when coming off the bridle, but is likely to be a different proposition on this second start. Both the Aidan O'Brien-trained Kansas and Jessica Harrington's Taiyi are newcomers worthy of consideration, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
