NOVEL APPROACH reappeared after a long break to run a fair race over 1m2f at Leopardstown in June with Uncharted waters behind. The form has worked out well and Jim Bolger's filly can start making up for lost time. Wildcat Kitten has done well despite his odds-on defeat last time though he's yet to race on going this soft. Allen Warrior showed nothing in his opening campaign but caught the eye on his reappearance at Tramore in May and should be capable of better. Dashing Dynamo would definitely be the form choice on his second to the well handicapped Botanical Lady at Galway on Friday though that was over a mile and it's difficult to know how he'll cope with this much longer trip.
