Wise Approach

William Buick, who rides him in most of his races, has won three times from seven outings together, a partnership that speaks to mutual understanding. The horse is trained by Charlie Appleby at Newmarket, a yard that has sent out 121 winners this season alone, so he is in capable hands. His recent form shows inconsistency: a win, then two fourths, a second place finish, another fourth, and another fourth in his last six races. That suggests he is capable but sometimes fallible, a horse that shows up on the day and occasionally does not. Still, with three Class 1 wins already in the bank at such a young age, Wise Approach has earned his place among the better prospects in training, and the fact that he raced just yesterday means the yard keep him active and ready for the next opportunity.
