Dawn delivers for Bolger in Coventry

Dawn Approach lived up to his tall reputation with a hard-fought victory in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot yesterday.

The Jim Bolger-trained son of his Derby winner New Approach was one of the first off the bridle in the six-furlong heat, but stayed on strongly to run out a decisive winner in the end.

Kevin Manning was sending out distress signals from an early stage on the 7-2 chance, who was stretching his unbeaten record to four.
