Approve will try to regain the winning thread in Wednesday's Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Gimcrack Stakes at York.
The William Haggas-trained juvenile blazed to victory in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot on what was his fourth racecourse start, but he has had to settle for minor honours in two subsequent starts.
While fourth place in the July Stakes and third in the Prix Robert Papin still represents decent form, Haggas thinks he has something to find against some possibly progressive rivals.
He said: "He is fine but is very exposed now. He is a decent horse with lots of experience taking on more unexposed horses.
"I don't think the ground is too important to him as he has won on quick ground but also ran well in France on softer going."
