In depth
Verdict
Bajan Blu clearly didn't stay the longer trip last time at Worcester last time but he has a bit to find to overturn earlier running at Uttoxeter with Jaja De Jau and both have shot up the weights recently. PRETTYASAPICTURE found the rejuvenated Unidexter too strong at Plumpton last month and her jumping is still a bit sketchy. But she looks to have been found another decent opportunity here and Tom Bellamy's claim is a plus. Party Girls is still 12lb higher than when a seller at Newton Abbot last month.
