Bluebell Way carries 6lb extra for winning at Bath though an apprentice’s allowance negates most of that and she can figure again. But BASHOLO should improve now handicapping having posted a better effort at Haydock and this doesn’t look a strong handicap. Vintage Fashion is another handicapping for the first time and may finish closer but Edge Nibras never threatened when runner-up over a longer trip at Wolverhampton. Charming Wally has returned a beaten favourite the last twice now without looking like winning.
