It will be hard to find another race as easy as this. He will go for a Graded race next, probably the Tara Hurdle at Navan.

Leopardstown Sun, 9th Jan, 2011 (1st)
we aimed Final Approach at this race all year and while Paul probably arrived a bit soon, he got all the breaks in the race. Emmet (Mullins, rider of Call The Police) gave his horse a great ride too on just the horse's third run over hurdles. Final Approach had a few indifferent runs and we were very disappointed with him at Down Royal but I thought things were falling in his favour the way he had been coming on at home recently - today was probably his Derby though.

Downpatrick Sun, 28th Mar, 2010 (1st)
He will probably go to Punchestown now for one of the four year old races maybe even a graded race. He's a very smart horse and he jumped really well today, he'll be far better on a galloping track.
W P Mullins
After race at
Curragh Sat, 6th Jun, 2009 (1st)
He handled the ground well and was entitled to have a good chance on his previous run at Naas. I will look for a handicap for him back here over the Derby weekend.
