Not much joy with the selections this afternoon and nothing much really appeals at the UK meetings tomorrow.
Over in Ireland at Fairyhouse Apt Approach makes his hurdles bow. He fell at the last when clear in his only point to point and then went on to score in a bumper at Gowran Park. He was sent off at 4/1 for the Cheltenham Championship bumper but could only finish 6th behind stable companion Cousin Vinny. He was probably over the top when down the field at Punchestown at the end of the season and remains an interesting jumping prospect.
Related to an Irish Grand National winner the future probably lies over fences for Apt Approach but he will be expected to pick up a hurdles race or two in the meantime. Also in the field is Kong whose only career win came in the Group 3 Lingfield Derby Trial in 2005.
