Forecasts

Rayvin Black (13/8), Stamp Your Feet (9/4), Winning Spark (9/2), Court Minstrel (13/2), Thunder Sheik (10/1)

Course winner STAMP YOUR FEET can put a disappointing effort at Cheltenham last time out by winning at this venue for the second time. The form of the selections previous second at Aintree is working out well with the winning going in again since and he can see off top weight Court Minstrel who has been in good form since returning this season while Rayvin Black, who drops in grade today can claim third.
