The two horses boast a similar profile and Bolger intends following the Teofilo route with the 8-11 favourite.

New Approach , the mount of Kevin Manning, races in the colours of the trainer's wife Jackie and Bolger said: "We'll consider the Goffs Million or the National Stakes next and then think about going the way of the Dewhurst."

The trainer continued: "He's got a lot of filling out to do but it should be remembered that his sire Galileo improved a lot from two to three. Teofilo was the same and it's just tough luck that he got injured and has gone to stud."

Mark Johnston's Yorkshire raider Peppertree Lane headed the betting for the listed Cill Dara Securities Ballycullen Stakes in a bid to follow up his course and distance win but the 6-4 favourite dropped right out of contention once headed by the Kevin Prendergast-trained winner Red Moloney, with Declan McDonogh on board.

The 6-1 chance contained the late effort of Hasanka by three lengths in the colours of Norman Ormiston. Prendergast observed: "He's a big horse and he'll be a much better horse next year. I'll probably only give him one more run this season, although I don't know where. He showed today that he stayed."

Sudden Impact, with Fran Berry aboard, made all the running in the valuable Tattersalls Ireland Sales Stakes to take the spoils by six lengths and give the jockey his third success in the race.

The 11-1 winner is trained near Aintree racecourse by Paul Green who has only held his licence for four months.

He picked up a first prize of 147,000 for his troubles and said: "I can't believe it. This is incredible, brilliant. She goes on the soft ground and I hope she'll develop into a Group filly eventually."

Perfect Polly sprang a 20-1 surprise under Niall McCullagh in the opening Racing South Africa EBF Maiden when outointing fellow outsider Rock Of Rochelle by one and threequarter lengths.

Meanwhile at Tralee, trainer John Murphy sent out his third winner of the Tralee Festival when Black Beauty landed the Crosse's Water Drilling Maiden Hurdle by four lengths. His owner Liam Mulryan commented "I applied for the name because I had never seen a horse running with that name and got it."
