Juddmonte International entry for Approach

Thursday 27 June 2013, 11:28am

Dawn Approach has been given the option of stepping back up in trip for the Juddmonte International at York on August 21.

Jim Bolger's brilliant miler added last week's St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot to his 2000 Guineas triumph at Newmarket as he bounced back from the ignominy of an unbelievably poor run in the English Derby.

The colt, who wears the Godolphin blue, is among 35 entries for the Group One over an extended mile and a quarter won last year by Frankel.

A quality entry list includes Toronado, who was just touched off by Dawn Approach at Ascot, Derby hero Ruler Of The World, Al Kazeem, St Nicholas Abbey and Snow Fairy.

As well as Ruler Of The World and St Nicholas Abbey, Aidan O'Brien has also entered one-time Derby favourite Kingsbarns, who has not run since last season's Racing Post Trophy, and Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Magician and Queen Anne victor Declaration Of War.

Telescope, another leading Derby contender not to have run so far this year, is a possible for Sir Michael Stoute, while John Gosden's progressive Ascot winner Remote could represent the Frankel colours of sponsor Khalid Abdullah.

Just The Judge, winner of the Irish 1,000 Guineas and due to step up in trip in the Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, also holds the engagement.
