Progressive 3yo for William Haggas in 2024, winning twice over 1m2f on good to firm; hasn't reached those heights since and was tailed off at Killarney on hurdles/stable debut; hood worn that day now left off.

From the connections
“Approval would have been unlucky if he got beat. He does drift a little right anyway but he did well to win and accepted being dropped in. He seemed to enjoy the track and probably found it quite entertaining - Maureen Haggas, assistant trainer, talking to ITV Racing.”
