Verdict

This looks an up-to-scratch renewal of this listed event, WISE APPROACH selected to capitalise on a drop in grade having found only Charles Darwin too strong in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. Amorim left his debut effort behind at Windsor recently and, with further progress on the cards, he can give the selection most to do. Rock On Thunder might be the one for the bronze medal.
