Black-Type Analysis: No Nay Never’s First Approach One to Note at Tipperary

[Wandering Eyes]

Wednesday, Tipperary, Ireland, post time: 18:10, COOLMORE STUD LITTLE BIG BEAR TIPPERARY STAKES-Listed, €27,000, 2yo, 5f 0y

Field: First Approach (Ire) (No Nay Never), Fresh Fade (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}), Arugam Bay (Ire) (Soldier's Call {GB}), Gelato (Ire) (Coulsty {Ire}), Spring Is Here (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}).

TDN Verdict: Aidan O'Brien last won this in 2018 with No Nay Never's Land Force and is represented here by First Approach, who is another son of the prolific Coolmore sire. He enjoys a similar racing profile to Land Force, in that he shed maiden status in his second start, earned prize-money in the Marble Hill before taking on a five-furlong task at Royal Ascot. The January-foaled bay, 10 lengths adrift of the winner when 19th in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes, encounters the Joseph O'Brien-trained Listed First Flier Stakes fourth Spring Is Here and three-race maiden Fresh Fade, who was a debut third to G2 Norfolk hero Charles Darwin and G2 Queen Mary fourth Cardiff By The Sea. Gelato, a nose shy of Spring Is Here when a debut fourth over course and distance in May, and Fairyhouse maiden winner Arugam Bay complete the line-up. [Sean Cronin].
