Formscan - After a bloodless success over 1m2f at Windsor last time, APPROVAL could be anything and this exciting proposition could make a mockery of an opening handicap mark of 90. William Haggas' charge barely saw another rival on that occasion and showed a likeable attitude to race clear in the closing stages, looking better the further he went. The main danger could be fellow prominent racer Hand Of God, who justified a short price to win the Esher Cup over 1m at Sandown in April and will likely appreciate this extra yardage. The hat-trick seeking Old Faithful appears to be Aidan O'Brien's first string, while stablemate Cambridge returns to handicap company after running with credit in Group company. Andrew Balding saddled Foxes Tales to victory in 2021 and he's represented by Portsmouth.
