In depth

Verdict

Bajan Blu earns full marks for consistency while Jigsaw Financial won at Southwell at the start of the month. Worthy Award could be interesting with Maurice Linehan claiming 3lb while Go West Young Man still has time on his side. Royal Palladium should also find a race or two in the coming months but Avel Vor has been well beaten in two starts in this country. FUZZY LOGIC has been getting closer as he's slipped down the weights. He's now only 2lb higher than when winning on similar ground at Ffos Las in May and Robert Williams takes off a further 5lb so he shouldn't be far away.
