Verdict

Expensive breeze-up purchase HIGH APPROVAL failed to match confidence on debut at Nottingham but that turned out to be a very warm race and he's expected to step forward from that. Kodi Island makes plenty of appeal as a £500,000 debutant for leading connections and is the obvious alternative.

2	Big-money breeze-up purchase who showed ability on debut when third of 11 in a novice race at Nottingham (1/1) 29 days ago, showing promise without living up to reputation based on SP. Should improve on second career start with that form very well advertised since. 1st Pick 2 High Approval (Ire) Jockey: James Doyle Trainer: Hamad Al Jehani J: James Doyle T: Hamad Al Jehani	100	-	-	-	67%

3	Foaled March 27. €9,000 yearling, £500,000 2-y-o. Kodi Bear colt. Cost £500,000 at the sales in April, dam was a 2-year-old 7f winner from the family of Breeders' Cup Classic winner Arcangues. Newcomer of extreme interest. 2nd Pick 3 Kodi Island (Ire) Jockey: Dougie Costello Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: Dougie Costello T: Charlie Appleby	0	-	-	-	23%

4	Too green to figure when fourth of 9 on debut in a novice over C&D (7/1). Took a small step forward when third of 9 in a novice at Newbury over 6.5f (10/3) 21 days ago, not knocked about. Remains with potential and likely to improve further at some point. 3rd Pick 4 Peel Park (Ire) Jockey: Ryan Moore Trainer: Roger Varian J: Ryan Moore T: Roger Varian	86	-	-	-	34%
