Bolger: Approach back ‘at the top of his game’ after setback

Jim Bolger reports Dawn Approach to be fully recovered from a setback and on course for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

The 2000 Guineas winner scoped badly after finishing fifth to Moonlight Cloud in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville last month but is now pleasing Bolger and is on target for the Group One, sponsored by Qipco, over a mile at Ascot on October 19.

“All’s been well since about 10 days ago and he’s at the top of his game at the moment, so we’ll start getting him ready for Ascot shortly,” the County Carlow trainer said.
