Wise Approach easily lands Newbury feature for Appleby Wise Approach confirmed his class at Newbury with a commanding win, building on his Royal Ascot effort and setting the stage for bigger targets ahead. Wise Approach Impresses in Rose Bowl Stakes at Newbury 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. Buick Praises Colt's Progress and Targets Future Group Races “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.”
