Racing: Approach possible for Sandown

Right Approach, the English Queen’s possible Vodafone Derby contender, could make his seasonal reappearance at Sandown on Friday.

Right Approach, the English Queen’s possible Vodafone Derby contender, could make his seasonal reappearance at Sandown on Friday.

The three-year-old son of Machiavellian, who won one race as a juvenile and was placed on his other run, is entered up for both the Heathorns Classic Trial and the Heathorns Conditions Stakes.

Both races were reopened, but there were no extra entries for the Group Three Classic Trial while just Far Lane from the Barry Hills yard was added to the Conditions race.

If connections decided to send the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Right Approach to the 10-furlong Classic Trial they will come up against Mark Johnston’s Simeon, who is among the nine-strong field.

Simeon already has two wins to his credit over one mile and two furlongs this season and Johnston is planning to send his runner to Sandown.

He said: ‘‘I haven’t had a look at the race yet but he will go there all things being well.

‘‘I think we will be looking to go but there are no long term plans we’re just taking one race at a time.’’
