Verdict
Sparkling Dawn went close at Southwell in June but has been raised 5lb for that. Baby Sham is now 0-14 but there may be more to come this season from Blended Stealth and Watashock was a course and distance winner in May. ANGER MANAGEMENT was surprisingly easy to back at Huntingdon 10 days ago but pulled away in the closing stages. He probably has his quirks but has no weight to speak of in his first handicap with Ben Ffrench Davis taking off 7lb. Bells Of Stamford was well backed at Ayr in May and didn’t disappoint. Just 4lb higher, another bold bid is anticipated.
