FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Jim Bolger-trained BOLD APPROACH should have every chance of going one better on his recent Leopardstown runner-up effort. A proven stayer, the eight-year-old ran well for a young apprentice who retains the ride on this occasion. Having enjoyed a first career success in the interim, Gabriella Hill should be riding full of confidence at the moment. Global Export won at Navan last month, before posting a solid effort off a higher mark at Listowel recently. He should again be capable of making his presence felt. Roscommon winner Sixpack could also have further improvement in him, especially now he steps up to this distance for the first time in his career.
