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.
