Wise Approach makes his mark in Newbury feature
Wise Approach was much the best when sauntering to success in the Ire-Incentive – It Pays To Buy Irish Rose Bowl Stakes at Newbury. Charlie Appleby's Mehmas colt – who cost a million guineas as a yearling – is a half-sibling to the Group-placed Golden Mind and multiple Group One winner Perfect Power, and was last seen finishing second to Charles Darwin in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot. That was a Group Two event and he therefore stepped down in grade to Listed level but back up in trip to six furlongs at Newbury, starting as the 11-10 favourite and registering an easy four-length victory under William Buick. 'It was a nice performance, he ran a good race at Ascot when he was on a different side of the track to the winner,' the rider told Sky Sports Racing. 'He was more comfortable back at six. I like what he did there, it was a nice smooth performance and I think he's a horse who will get better. 'He looked a good deal better than the opposition there and he certainly deserves to have a look at those targets (the Gimcrack and the Middle Park). 'I think he will develop, he's a scopey horse and he was very natural from early on, but I do think he'll keep getting better.'

Do Bronxs set for Rose Bowl bid
Owned by Amo Racing, the 80,000 guineas purchase is the first foal out of Lola Showgirl, a Royal Ascot and Group Three winner for Loughnane. Do Bronxs made his debut up at Ayr but went off a weak 10-1 shot before staying on strongly inside the final furlong to win well. He is up against Charlie Appleby's Norfolk Stakes runner-up Wise Approach but Loughnane is never one to shy away from a good one. 'He's a nice horse, he impressed on his debut and he seems to have come on leaps,' said Loughnane. 'I think a lot of him. 'Obviously the Godolphin horse who was second in the Norfolk sets the standard and could prove hard to beat but you can't run away from one horse. 'If he's going to be as good as I think he is he'll have to be competitive in this company.' Wise Approach won on his debut and was then fourth at York in a race won by the reopposing First Legion, but the Godolphin runner turned that form around at Ascot when beating all bar Charles Darwin. Appleby told the Godolphin website: 'Wise Approach came out of Ascot well and we feel that stepping back up to six furlongs will suit. 'If he runs to anything near the level of his Norfolk Stakes form, it should make him very competitive in this grade.' Owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid has two runners, George Boughey's Windsor winner Amorim and the Kevin Ryan-trained Rock On Thunder, who was ninth of 20 in the Coventry. Tom Dascombe's Kolkata Knight is the only other runner with the planned Irish raider Nuevo Slovo now not taking part.
