2-Y-O: 2 starts; 1 win; 1 second.

Won Conditions Race (1400m. Newmarket) by a neck from Mamool (Grosser Preis von Baden Gr1, Preisvon Europa Gr1, Yorkshire Cup Gr2 etc) and 3.25 lengths from Terfel (was already a winner andnow multiple stakes placed). K. Fallon up. 3 August 2001. Going: Good to soft.

2nd Conditions Race (1400m. Kempton) beaten a short head by Expected Bonus (received 7lb). Right Approach was the moral winner, giving his rival 7lb and looked unlucky not to win outright. Third horse, Himalaya had won his previous start, won his next start and is stakes placed. K. Fallon up. 8 September 2001. Going: Good.

Priced up favourite for Epsom Derby.

3-Y-O: 2 starts; 1 third.

Murtagh up. 26 April 2002. Going: Good to soft. Right Approach ran too freely in front- he did not look at all happy on the ground- stumbled after 2 furlongs and floundered when let down in the straight, with his rider at pains to give him as easy a race as possible when his chance was hopeless.

Fallon up. 12 May 2003. Going: Good. That was worth waiting for. We thought he wanted firm ground so we were concerned at the rain, but he has such a magnificent action he should cope with quick ground.

2nd Queen Anne Stakes Gr.1 (1600m. Royal Ascot) beaten 4 lengths by Dubai Destination (defeated

Rock Of Gibraltar in Champagne St). Beat multiple stakes winners Where Or When (Queen Elizabeth St Gr1), Gateman (multiple Gr3 winner), Hawk Wing (multiple Gr1 winner, 2nd Epsom Derby etc), Victory Moon (UAE Derby) etc. K. Fallon up. 17 June 2003. Going: Good to firm. -Slow away, ran on strongly.-

Park Stakes Gr3. C. Soumillon up. 12 July 2003. Going: Good to firm. - Unsuited by slow early pace on fast Ground. He wouldn-t be the easiest ride in the world- more than capable of finding a decent Group event when conditions are in his favour-.

Unpl. Rose Of Lancaster St Gr.3 (2200m. Haydock) behind Sabre D-Argent. Injured in running and pulled up. J. Fortune up. 9 August 2003. Going: Good to firm. Unpl. Darley Stakes Gr.3 (1800m.
