Formscan  - WISE APPROACH was no match for Charles Darwin but was still a good second in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot. Charlie Appleby's colt should be difficult to beat if reproducing that level of performance, although Amorim could hardly have been more impressive when on target at Windsor and can throw down a stern challenge. First Legion disappointed in the Norfolk himself but he overturned the selection on debut and should not be overlooked.
