ACTIVE APPROACH ran in better company than this in her first campaign and, with this trip looking much more suitable, can make a successful reappearance. Indie Groove caught the eye on his racecourse debut at Gowran, staying on nicely from the rear over a mile. He'll improve and will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Valkenburg has been looking one-paced over a mile but his pedigree offers some hope that this trip will be more to his liking while the Sea The Stars colt Sheberghan didn't get the run of the race on his debut at Navan and is the type to do much better. Silvretta Schwarz made a promising start on very heavy going at the Curragh and, with improvement guaranteed, can also get competitive.
